Just food for thought for those that prefer not to contribute to more plastic in the environment.
So please don't spread unhelpful misinformation

If you're interested in avoiding plastics in your fertilizer, Jobe's, Down to Earth and similar organic brands don't use them. There's obvious trade offs going with an organic fertilizer vs synthetic options (cost, shelf life, etc.), but I feel like a lot of gardeners would hesitate to knowingly add plastics to their soil.
It is $19.05 for me.
But then I have also bought it twice before in the last year, so maybe no deal for me from Amazon?

"The coating technology in Osmocote (OM Scotts Company, Marysville, OH) was developed in the 1960s, and this coating is classified as a polymeric resin. The coating process involves coating a soluble fertilizer core with a thermoset copolymer of dicyclopentadiene and a glycerol ester (linseed oil) dissolved in an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent."
Dicyclopentadiene in the environment is also harmful once it enters the environment, often cause disruption to the reproductive process of animals.

It's not a soybean derived polymer. In fact, it's a copolymer with natural linseed oil and a synthetic dicyclopentadiene that is absolutely harmful to the environment.

I'm not here to say that using a small amount of the fertilizer is going to kill all life on earth. I just think there's value in knowing what people are putting in their gardens.
