Bay State Fertilizer has found a niche in the local market with landscape professionals and homeowners who want a slow release, non-burning fertilizer that is rich in organic matter and micronutrients. The fertilizer is recommended for use on lawns and flower and vegetable gardens. Local customers include golf courses, landscapers, garden centers and hardware stores. Last year, customers purchased approximately 66 tons of Bay State Fertilizer. MWRA also donates the product free to the 43 communities that send sewage to Deer Island.
Communities use the product on parks, ball fields, landscaping and other local projects.
The Metropolitan District Commission uses Bay State Fertilizer on the Esplanade, the Ponkapoag Golf Course in Canton and many other of its parks and recreational facilities. Bay State Fertilizer can be purchased at Atlas True Value Hardware in West Roxbury, Ashmont Discount in Braintree, Hillside Garden Supply in Belmont, Agway in Plymouth, Kennedy's Country Garden in Scituate, Flowerland Garden Center in Kingston, Nunan's Florist and Greenhouse in Georgetown, Harbor Garden Center and The Greenery in Salisbury, Bay State Pet and Garden in Taunton, Pereira Grain and Supply in Fall River, The Green Spot Garden Store in South Yarmouth and Tomasi Nurseries in Pembroke.
