		<description>Yes, this does seem petty and a waste of legal expense - though as a lawyer, I know some attorney is making good money to pursue this claim.</description>

		<description>As a professional graphic designer of over 25 years, I have in fact designed packaging for other lawn care product companies.

I find it comical that Scott's (I do use there products) would go after a small company based on the TerraCycle label that I have seen.

While it may contain "photos of flowers and vegetables" Scott's does not have universal rights to all usage of those type of images. In fact any package I have ever designed for Lawn Care Products utilized similar images to one degree or another.

These color combinations of yellow and green are very common in the design of lawn care products across the board and in designing such are obvious choices for these type of products. I have in fact used yellow and greens on lawn care  product labels.

Centering a logo is not even worth commenting on.

My immediate look gave me the feeling more of a Goya Food product.

The TerraCycle label does not not in my professional opinion show enough likeness to the "Miracle-Gro" line to accuse TerraCycle of trademark infringement.

FYI:
In the past I have applauded Scotts for their stance regarding their non-smoking employee policy.</description>
