Walmart is selling an ‘awesome' Scotts lawn fertilizer for 44% off, and shoppers say it's ‘the best on the market'
Summer is the season for enjoying the outdoors, but it's also the season of brown grass that's been scorched by the sun. While this is often caused by too little watering, a browning lawn can also be a sign of low soil nutrition. The solution? A quality fertilizer.
To that end, Scotts Green Max Lawn Food not only has rave reviews, but is currently on sale at Walmart for 44% off, dropping the price from $59 to $33. At a price that good, now is the perfect time to stack a few bags in your garage.
Scotts Green Max Lawn Food, $33 (was $59) at Walmart
Scotts has long been a leader in the fertilizer space, and the company's Green Max Lawn Food is the perfect example of why. This dual action formula is designed to provide deep lawn greening within around three days, thanks to the inclusion of the macronutrient iron, which is essential for a healthy, green lawn. It can be applied to grass of any type through the spring, summer, and fall, and it is guaranteed not to stain your driveway or other pavement. There's no waiting to go on the lawn after application, and the 16.67-ounce bag will cover an expansive 5,000 square feet.
Reviewers attest to its quality, saying this 'excellent' fertilizer was a 'great buy.'
One said that it delivers 'awesome results' and 'does the job every time,' and many reviewers related the compliments they now receive on their lawns. One shopper said, their grass is now so lush it 'looks like a golf course.'
As one buyer put it, this is 'the best fertilizer on the market,' and many noted that they buy it year after year to ensure a fresh, green lawn all summer.
For a limited time, Scotts Green Max Lawn Food is on sale at Walmart for just $33, so now is the time to stock up a stack in your garage.

BBC Verify Live: Huge blast in Ukraine and unpacking Trump's mega-bill
Update: Date: 10:04 BST Title: Fact-checking claims about Trump's 'big beautiful bill' Content: Jake HortonBBC Verify journalist US President Donald Trump's flagship 'big beautiful bill' is edging closer to becoming law, but tense negotiations are set to continue in Congress later. The bill has faced strong opposition from Democrats as well as from some in Trump's Republican Party over how much it will cost and the cuts it will make to health and welfare benefits. I'm currently working for BBC Verify in Washington and have been looking at claims made about the bill's impact on three key areas - the US national finances, medical cover, and taxes. On the first, the White House says the bill 'reduces deficits by over $2tn (£1.5tn)' - but several senior Democrats have insisted it would add trillions. The deficit is the difference between what the US government spends and the money it collects in taxes and other revenue. We've looked at various independent studies and interviewed six tax experts who all agree the 'big beautiful bill' will increase the deficit. I've written up our full fact-check which will be available on the BBC News website later. Update: Date: 09:47 BST Title: Video shows large blast at Russian munitions depot in Ukraine Content: Sebastian Vandermeersch and Fridon KiriaBBC Verify and BBC Monitoring We've verified footage showing a large explosion near the town of Khartsyzsk, in the Russian-occupied Donetsk region of Ukraine. Due to the size and intensity of the blast the location is likely to be a Russian ammunition depot. We have not yet had confirmation of what caused the explosion. We geolocated the video by identifying a distinctive school building in the foreground and matching it to satellite imagery of the area. Reverse image searches of screen grabs from the footage indicate it had not appeared online before yesterday. If this is confirmed as a Ukrainian strike, it would be the latest in a series targeting Russian ammunition storage sites – part of a broader strategy to disrupt supply lines and weaken Moscow's military capabilities. Update: Date: 09:32 BST Title: What we're working on today Content: Rob CorpBBC Verify Live editor Good morning from BBC Verify. We're here throughout the day with updates on the stories we're verifying, the facts being checked and any disinformation that is being debunked. I've just come from the morning editors' meeting and here's how things are looking today: And we'll to continue to monitor social media and messaging apps for news coming out of Gaza.

What is the real bitcoin inflation rate?
0 This content is contributed or sourced from third parties but has been subject to Finextra editorial review. "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean- neither more nor less." - Through the Looking Glass, Chapter 6, by Lewis Carroll One of the explanations for the value of bitcoin is based on its claimed anti-inflationary properties. The ultimate supply of bitcoin, unlike conventional currencies is limited by design, to 21 million coins. The rate at which new bitcoins are created halves every four years. Originally the reward to bitcoin 'miners' for validating a block of transactions was 50 new bitcoins. Currently the reward after a succession of 'halvings' is 3.125 bitcoins. The rate at which the bitcoin supply increases is described by cryptocurrency enthusiasts as the 'bitcoin inflation rate'. The low and falling bitcoin inflation rate is quoted as yet another reason for the superiority of bitcoin over 'fiat' currencies, such as the US dollar. In Forbes Liam Wright, editor-in-chief of Cryptoslate, says: 'The current inflation rate for bitcoin stands around 0.84%, whereas the most recent US inflation data for May came in at 3.4%.' Figure 1. Bitcoin inflation rate, based on data from The only problem with this story is that it is dependent on a Humpty Dumpty-like misuse of the word of inflation. The standard economic definition is, to quote the IMF, 'inflation is the rate of increase in prices over a given period of time'. This is measured by looking at the changes over time in the cost of buying a standard basket of goods. Inflation is not a measure of the change in the amount of money in circulation. So-called 'bitcoin inflation' measures a change in supply rather than a change in value. While in conventional currencies changes in the money supply are related to changes in the inflation rate, they are not the same thing and other factors influence the extent to which a change in the money supply leads to change in the inflation rate. So, what is the real inflation rate for bitcoin using the normal economic definition? Given the lack of usage of bitcoin in real world commerce it is impossible to simply find a representative basket of conventional goods regularly purchased with bitcoin and look at how the price level fluctuates over a period of time. Even in El Salvador, where bitcoin was, for a period, given official status it was little used in day-to-day commerce. The alternative is simply to look at the change in the value of bitcoin in dollar terms over the course of the year and adjust the rate of change by the US dollar inflation rate. This gives the change in the cost of a standard basket of goods in the US in bitcoin. The calculation does not show a steadily falling rate of inflation for bitcoin. Instead, it shows a wildly yo-yoing inflation rate as the bitcoin price periodically surges and collapses. Over a 12-year period the true annual bitcoin inflation rate varied between 166% (hyper-inflation) and -93% (hyper-deflation). Figure 2. Bitcoin, US Dollar and Turkish Lira Inflation Rates. Sources: CoinMarketCap and the World Bank Hyper-inflation in terms of bitcoin (when the bitcoin price periodically collapses) is not unique to bitcoin. Multiple fiat currencies have experienced similar rates, often to the point it completely destroys the value of the currency. The chart above shows the inflation rates for the US dollar over the same period (consistently low apart from 2021) and for the Turkish Lira, which has experienced persistent high inflation. Hyper-deflation (the result of each bitcoin bubble) is unique to cryptocurrencies. From an economic perspective, a currency is most useful when its value remains relatively stable. Price stability removes a great deal of the friction in commerce, investing and financial planning by firms and households. A currency with a wildly unstable value (up and down) is as unsuitable as a currency that suffers from consistently high inflation. Even on the Dark Web, Ross Ulbricht, aka 'Dread Pirate Roberts', found himself having to provide insurance against the wild movements in the value of bitcoin to his customers. To quote Forbes in 2013: 'To insulate those sellers against bitcoin fluctuations, the eBay-like drug site also offers a hedging service. Sales are held in escrow until buyers receive their orders via mail, and vendors are given the choice to turn on a setting that pegs the escrow's value to the dollar, with Silk Road itself covering any losses or taking any gains from bitcoin's swings in value that occur while the drugs are in transit.' The annualised inflation rate for bitcoin actually provides an overly flattering view of the stability of its value since bitcoin and the other cryptocurrencies have suffered even wilder gyrations over the course of months or even days. The price of bitcoin has grown spectacularly since its creation but the arguments that its value derives from its anti-inflationary properties are simply down to an incorrect use of the word 'inflation'.

Watches of Switzerland warns over US price hikes after Trump tariffs
Luxury retailer Watches of Switzerland has revealed price hikes for US customers after President Donald Trump's move to slap a 10% tariff on European Union imports to America. The Rolex seller said some of its 'brand partners' in the US had already pushed through 'mid-single digit' percentage price increases on its ranges in response to Mr Trump's tariff hike. The EU and the US are under pressure ahead of a looming July 9 deadline, after which Mr Trump has threatened to impose 50% tariffs on EU imports if negotiations fail. There is currently a baseline tariff of 10% on EU imports to the US under a 90-day pause, which impacts the retailer's ranges made in Switzerland. Watches of Switzerland (WoS) said: 'The outcome of US tariff developments remains uncertain. 'We are in regular dialogue with our brand partners, but it is too early to comment on the potential sector impact of further changes. 'We will provide a further update as to the potential impact on full year 2025-26 guidance once the situation becomes clearer.' Shares in the group fell 6% in Thursday morning trading. In the group's annual results, WoS posted a 5% fall in operating profits to £114 million, but saw revenues hit a record £1.65 billion in the year to April 27 as sales surged 12% in the second half. Overall, constant currency revenues lifted 8% in the year, up 2% across the UK and Europe. On an underlying basis and with currency movements stripped out, earnings rose 12% to £150 million, but pre-tax profits slipped 18% to £76 million. WoS said it expects sales to grow by between 6% and 10% over the new financial year. Brian Duffy, chief executive of WoS, said: 'Our US business has continued its excellent momentum, surpassing 1 billion US dollars revenue for the first time, bolstered by the acquisition of Roberto Coin Inc. 'The UK has returned to growth as trading conditions have stabilised. 'As we look ahead, whilst we are of course remaining mindful of the broader macroeconomic and consumer environment, including potential US tariff changes, we remain confident in the strength of our diversified business model, our strong pipeline of showroom openings and growth projects, and the resilience of the luxury watch and luxury branded jewellery categories.'
