Anyone know where I can buy Ringers Lawn Restore fertilizer at a discounted price? It is $15.47 at Home Depot locally, but I need 500 pounds and want to get a significant discount for this quantity. Pls reply to my e-mail. cbyx@adelphia.net

No. I did not. Further, Home Depot and Lowes no longer stock it in my area.

Well, that's too bad, however if you still want to get some then go on to the http://doitbest.com/ website. The cool thing about these guy is that you can order online and have it shipped to a store close to you and not pay for shipping. You may have to wait but the alternative is paying more than the fertilizer's cost in shipping.

My local Ace Hardware ordered some for me, took a couple days to get it. Any local/mom&pop hardware store will probably work a deal with you for a set quantity.

For huge quantities you might want to look into getting the exact fertilizers you need after doing a soil analysis. Then you can order feather meal (the primary ingredient in the ringer stuff) for your nitrogen needs, etc.
For such a large scale, you might even consider clover seed.

Clover is going to fertilize your soil! Of course, some folks don't like clover in their lawn, so if they have clover, they should fertilize with something else and then the grass will beat the clover.
But if you need gobs of fertilizer, and you don't mind clover - maybe the thing to do is intentionally plant clover!

Upon revisiting this thread, I found I have a couple of questions:
1) So is the clover that one finds naturally in their lawn the same clover that you can buy to add N?
1a) Is the clover fixing N in as it lives, or does it need to die off first (good for next year)
2) Where can you order feather meal from?
2a) Does it come pelletized?
Thanks!

1) yes-ish. If the clover is short and does well with mowing, then it is a good lawn variety of clover. But the exact species and variety could differ depending on what you buy.
1a) Supplies N while it lives. Will supply even more when it dies.
2) dirtworks.net or groworganic.com
2a) I've never seen it come any other way.
