Scotts Snap Lawn Care System

I was at the local Home Depot last weekend and noticed Scotts new spreader. What are your thoughts?

Looks good for small lawns. I think it'll be a hard sell though unless you are in the market for a new spreader and are exclusively a Scotts user.

i wonder what the $ per N value of that special fertilizer refill u use with that.

You get a 12.5 lb bag of 25-0-4 for $19 at lowes, I can't think of the formula right now to convert it but somehow I doubt you will come out ahead on this system, you are paying a premium for the "convenience" of the whole thing!!!

Why can't I think of this crap?

Probably because you would never think of selling some inferior product that doesn't really do anything special and charge extra for it!!!

Damn you, values!!!!! Always standing in between me and my millions!!!

I only want to sell a couple. Just enough to offset the summer water bill.

Assuming your numbers are accurate, that comes out to $6.08 for every pound of nitrogen. A bag of Scotts Turfbuilder would come out to $2.66 per pound of nitrogen. That better be a damn good spreader.

I don't see the point. It sounds like it belongs on an infomercial, because the target audience is the same group of people who can't cut things with regular scissors / knives or clean up messes with towels / sponges / mops etc.

I kind of resemble that remark. I'm not allowed knives since the Great Knife Accident of 2004 that had me hand-locked for several weeks.

But even I don't see the point. Using a broadcast spreader simply isn't that hard, and I'm not locked down to using the Scotts products that fit the Snap system. This is good; I don't use Scotts products.

Ah yes, as I recall it was but a simple paring knife! Blasted things
