When I got the first bag in the mail, it had a smell of manure and other horticultural implements. First we tried to wash it out, but it never would come out then we realize the very poor manner of rocks and gravel and dusty sand making up this bag. My only alternative was to use it as the advertised product and I poured it over the surface of my outdoor potted plants. These plants had been absolutely ravaged by the local squirrel population, but that stopped the second I threw this stuff on them. Several months have passed since, and no more squirrels have shredded my desert roses trying to bury their acorns. All the other plants around them without this stuff are still being torn to pieces, so I’d ordered more just to test my theory about having something that will finally keep the little jerks out. Strange turn of events, but I thought I’d share my pros and cons. ## Frequently Bought Together - Lava Sand, Red, 8 lb by Soil Mender - Grow More 3-0-1 Organic Iron Chelate Concentrate (10%) for Greener Plants & Lawns - 8oz of Water Soluble Chelated Iron Supplement for Indoor & Outdoor Plants, Trees, & Lawns - Espoma Organic Iron-Tone 3-0-3 Organic Fertilizer and Plant Food to Help Correct Iron Deficiency (Chlorosis). 5 lb.
