Moisture in the bags. Happens all the time with most all bagged fert. Just bust them up as they are being poured into the spreader.

Make sure the ones you buy are under a shed wrapped in plastic. That eliminates most of it. I always load my on, so if I feel a hard bag, I toss it aside. Its not just rainbow, its any fertilizer or bagged lime.

Best thing to do is get a spreader with an agitator. Bust em right up. Not sure what kind of agitator can bust up solid rocks... I don't need advise on how to spread clumpy fertilizer or even need to know what causes it. I think we all know moisture is the issue. What I am asking is has anyone else used Rainbow Fertilizer and had ROCKS in it???

it can happen just. Something could have been in loader bucket when they scooped it up and then dumped it into the hopper to be bagged or could be deteriorating floor or wall and the loader picked it up. Not say this is what happened. But I have seen it happen before. Where did you buy it at

Take it back to where you bought it so they can let their rainbow rep know

I have had this problem with every brand of bagged fertilizer. I took the shroud off of an old fan and place on top of my spreader and screen the fertilizer and have not clogged a hole since.

I have had this problem with every brand of bagged fertilizer. I took the shroud off of an old fan and place on top of my spreader and screen the fertilizer and have not clogged a hole since. I've also experienced it with different brands. I think the best way to avoid it is to buy from someone who moves a lot of fertilizer. It's been several years since I got a bad batch, but it's extremely aggravating when it happens.
