Re: N-Ext Products
That’s a good sign. The big guns are jumping on the carbon bandwagon and they appear to have test results. The results are consistent with what Matt has been saying.

Curious how this compares price-wise - ingredient-wise, it looks like a direct competitor to RGS.

Is that the homeowner or business price?gpbrown60 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 1:15 pmI just called my local Lesco and it is $134 a gallon.iFisch3224 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 12:12 pmInteresting -

FYI. It's only 2 Oz per gallon, per 1k sq', so it may be a challenger, but I have not done the math yet.

Re: N-Ext Products
RGS is 3oz/1k - but I tend to use 6oz/1k.Methodical wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 2:17 pmIs that the homeowner or business price?gpbrown60 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 1:15 pmI just called my local Lesco and it is $134 a gallon.iFisch3224 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 12:12 pmInteresting -

4 gal of RGS is $95 shipped I believe.

Re: N-Ext Products
Homeowner price and it's (2) oz per 1,000 sq. ft. for the first application followed by (1) oz per 1,000 sq. ft. per month or every time fertilizer is appliedMethodical wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 2:17 pmIs that the homeowner or business price?gpbrown60 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 1:15 pmI just called my local Lesco and it is $134 a gallon.iFisch3224 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 12:12 pmInteresting -

I have 10K square feet of lawn so:
RGS at 3oz per K = 4.3 applications for $88 (free shipping) or $20+ an application
Lesco at 2 oz per K, then 1 oz afterward = 11.8 applications for $134 (local pickup)or $11+ an application
I think I did that correctly. I guess the proof is in the results!

Re: N-Ext Products
That mean the business cost should be significantly less. SiteOne always nails the homeowner in pricing.

5 gallons RGS = 640oz ($5 off coupon - cousineddie)
https://thelawncarenut.com/collections/ ... s-5-gallon
10k sq/ft lawn @ 3oz per application = 30oz RGS
At 30oz of RGS per app - you get 21.33 applications in 640oz (5 gallons), or 21 applications.
$100 divided by 21 applications $4.76/application.
RGS is 2.31x cheaper then Lesco's product @ Homeowner pricing.
