"The thing about fertilizing is people have a fear of it. Even lawn professionals that are like lawn companies I talk to a lot of guys like that they have a fear of fertilizer, their fear given a burn something. So fertilizer doesn't burn the lawn. And they're just going to tell you that right now, even if you put down a Triple Thick application for some reason, because you didn't read the label, because you didn't calibrate your spreader, whatever you're not going to bring along." - Allyn
