RE: Current status of Monokote
Defective Monokote can most certainly be sent to us and we'll replace it!
We've been working very hard with the manufacturer to make sure no more "granular" Monokote gets out there. We've seen it mostly happen now and again in the Reds. The "water spotting" should also be a non-issue.
There's no way to tell when Monokote was made by examining the package or label. We can only state that good material is currently being shipped.
