I agree with using what works; but, also like to experiment. I can't argue with Sticktickle's logic of going with what works for him. If I try something and it doesn't work as well as another product, I tend to stay with the product that works. I also understand other people can have better experiences with something I don't like. I also agree, products can and do change over time.

I wanted to find out if the people whom have used Monokote for a long time are still happy with it. From the results I see here, I would say these people still seem to be! It is also readily apparent some people are extremely disatisfied with it! If I were Monokote, finding this out is worth far more than all the praise they may get from time to time about their products. If they care and if they read R/CU, maybe they will get the point and attempt to remidy the problem.
