Continuing on the theme John established for the day:
Scotts Miracle-Gro Co. was ordered yesterday to stop selling and using products that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said contain two "illegal and unregistered" herbicides.
The Marysville-based lawn and garden company said yesterday that it agreed to a national recall of products containing these herbicides. They were used in a commercial fertilizer and in a consumer product sold under the name "Miracle-Gro Shake 'n' Feed With Weed Preventer All Purpose Plant Food."
Why do I care? Marysville, Ohio is the town next to Dublin, Ohio, the suburbanly sprawled city I call home. Scotts is a major employer in the area. Dublin's slogan is "It's Greener in Dublin." How are we going to stay greener without fertilizer?
