Just an FYI, I know alot of people here use it.
-
Thanks for the heads up! Picked some up and shared this with my FB group.
-
You guys use this on your mango trees?
-
Use it for anything in a pot. It's awesome stuff. I used it for years when we were growing and selling trees. $15 for an 8 pound bag (with shipping!) is extremely cheap. I was paying more per pound when I was buying it in 50 pound bags at the local nursery supply and driving over there to pick it up.
But you better hurry. Amazon will kick up the price pretty quickly when a lot of people start buying.

Amazon says 8lbs/$19.87 for me. Still $2 cheaper than the local store. Not worth stocking for $2 for me. Thanks for the head up though.
-
I just clicked that, showing $19.87 for me too!
-
Sale is over. I order this morning for $15.
-
it was $15 a couple of hours ago.

Fall/Winter coming... Normal decrease in sales... Time to put on sale... Done... Large volume purchased... Time to take off sale...
If wanted to purchase again at lower price... stop buying with fall winter coming... wait wait wait... And it will come...
-
What’s the shelf life on these things? Is it good to stock up and hold it for a year or so?
-
Funny how I posted this and forgot to purchase some... atleast I still have about 6lbs. :)
-

I guess price changing is instantaneous, automatically preprogrammed nowadays...
I still remember the days that when the gasoline prices were being changed by hand with long poles... ;D
-
Yes, they can last for years.

I just saw this deal on Amazon. 8 more minutes before the deal is over. Apparently, this deal is only in the am.
Its 10;32am now
-
Good deal. Picked up a couple more bags. Thanks!
-
looks like it came back today, not sure how long it will last. Here's the link in case anyone is interested.

Ordered some just now. Thanks.

I just ordered a couple of bags too!
Thanks for the "Sale Alert" guys!
-
i had to give it a try after reading some of the comments. got it at $15 too.
i'm sure most you know but using camelcamelcamel makes it easy to get alerted for any price drops in the range you want.
-
Yup. I have a camelx3 alert set up for the 8lb osmocote at $18. I always get the alert at $15
-
IT IS BACK ON SALE!!! $15

Very nice. I'm still going on my small bag of osmocote, so for small growers like me this is still a good deal :)
-
Thanks zephian got a bag

Yes, it's a great deal compared to what local nurseries sell. I've got two 8# bags myself.
I'm now a small grower too doing a greenhouse and vineyard, the former getting these prills. Don't know what I'm going to do with 50#. Guess I'll cut it up and sell it 10# at a time to growers at our scion exchange meetings and use some in my veggie garden.

Is this stuff really okay to use on everything? Mango and avocado?

I use it (or something similar) on everything newly planted in the field and on my permanent trees in the greenhouse. They get it or else. Citrus, mango, annona, pineapples (soil only), avocado, herbs.......
Helped my cousin plant a bunch of trees at his new house. Each tree got a handful scratched into the soil upon planting completion.

On Sale again on Amazon.....even cheaper at 13.40

Helluva buy, cheapest I've ever seen it.
Note to self, always place a 50# bag of Osmocote in a box before opening it. Took me an hour to get all the prills up, about 40# fell out while I had my back turned. Weeks later I'm still finding prills that rolled 30' away. ::)

whats the shelf life on it?
Considering I keep mine (and all my expensive chemicals and fertilizers) in a wine cellar that's cooled by a 10,000 BTW A/C unit, probably forever because of the low RH.
Store in a hall closet.

I have a bag left in an unfinished garage and the package won't reseal perfectly and I've been to lazy to move it to something air tight.
Still looks brand new after almost a year of storage (we don't really get any humidity)
