These are some of the pictures that I took of using the Nutri-Cast®, not using anything and using a granular fertilizer of 20-10-10. Thanks David Shore

Even though the granular 20-10-10 is high in Nitrogen (N), its "organic"
material source is Milorginite (a bio-solid) which will usually last only 20 to
21 days and then will wash off, becoming a water contaminate.
The Nutri-Cast, even though it has no nitrogen of its own, utilizes nitrogen
fixation which means it gets the nitrogen from the atmosphere - the most
plentiful nitrogen source existing (as much as 87% of the atmosphere is
nitrogen), then converts it to ammonia which the plants use more
efficiently then synthetic nitrogen as you can clearly see in the photos.
An additional benefit is no nitrogen run off and no water
contamination which makes this not only ideal for urban settings but is
environmentally friendly (remember our mission is to do no harm) which
solves problems, deters losses of sod as well as plant materials which
means it is not only safe but cost effective.
Sometimes the environmental benefits are overlooked and the only cost
being considered are that of plant/sod replacement and man hours spent
when the reality is, not going back to replace the plants cuts down on an
enormous carbon footprint of the transportation costs as well
