It's easy to incorporate into the soil, and although there's a slight smell typical of organic products, it's manageable. Made from bone meal, poultry manure, and sulfate of potash, it also supports a healthy soil ecosystem. I've been using Jobe's for years, and I've always been satisfied. Definitely five stars!"

My only wish is that it came in a larger bottle, but overall, I'm very satisfied with the results!"
