yes General Hydro was purchased by Scott's and now part of the Monsanto family
I'll give you a disclaimer first. I could care less which food in my store sells the most except for AN. That company is the most full of shit company out there and most of it is thanks to Big Mike. I'd love to have Technaflora be as they are 15 feet away from me but they are dead locally.
Yes GH is my biggest seller but there is a reason why that is. They have a stable brand they built, they don't reformulate their products every year, their labels stay fairly consistent over the years and they don't bitch and whine at other companies. This is how you build a brand that everyone recognizes and a three part food that everyone copies. There are some issues I have with GH and that is more on the wholesale side and the discounts they had for bulk buys which didn't change as the market in Canada went from busting to bust and the amount you needed to buy didn't go down to get certain discounts.
Sorry but Scott's is a exclusive distributor of Monsanto and not owned by Monsanto. That's an AN spread propaganda because Scott's bought GH instead go AN and Big Mike is butt hurt. What we have here is an example of what a butt hurt man looks like.
