What should I use this on?
I made an impulse purchase because this stuff was on clearance, without really thinking what I would use it for. It's 6-0-0 with the N derived from sugar beet molasses. Any suggestions?

If you have flower beds, they'd like it. The product also says trees and shrubs, which will like it too. The bottle states it feeds 500 square feet, which sounds about right.
The lawn isn't going to object to it, but the N is very low and it won't help much there.

Hah! I'd need 60 bottles to cover my lawn with the stuff. No thanks 
I got the Miracle Gro Liquafeed you suggested for my trees (got That on clearance too
). Maybe I can alternate between the Liquafeed and this stuff starting next year (I'm done fertilizing trees for this year).

Re: What should I use this on?
Sure, alternation's fine and I do it myself. Miracle Gro, although I use the old-fashioned packs and a Miracle Gro feeder. Organics when I go past the Thuja, roses, and trees with the monthly feeding. Compost when I get around to it, usually about twice a year.
Organics--like this--can go right to leaf turn on trees or about the same time on shrubs. Synthetics should be cut off right about now, although winterizer certainly isn't going to hurt when you happen to spray it at broadcast rate when you do the lawn. You don't want to spark a lot of supple, thin growth that has to harden off before winter too late in the season, but organics won't do that.
I usually organically feed the Thuja right through November, just like the lawn, but they never really stop even in winter.
