I tried to break up the granules by slamming the bag several times onto the concrete floor but this was not successful. I then opened the bag and tried to break up the large clumps with a garden hand shovel but this still left large chucks of product which were too large to use. Then I took a hatchet and chopped away at the large pieces until they were small enough to break up further with my garden hand shovel. Finally, I scooped up the pulverized granules, knocked out any large pieces and dispersed the smaller granules by hand with my scoop. I should have returned the product, but I thought I would try to use it with the steps I was taking and the bag was opened and partially used. I regret my decision to purchase this product and to use it in the condition it was in.

Product worked well used this in my garden

Really has given our new grass a boost in thickness and help green it up as well

Great product. Awesome price. Fast delivery. Emerald green grass! I apply every 4 weeks during growing season.
