What a back fire joke that turned out to be. 
I am surprised someone hast started selling cheaper other brand fertilizer bottles for the MG dispensers.
Not unless they some how patented those threads.

When I bought my Keurig I had no idea all the BS that going on with it and the DRM. I was just looking for something better then what I had. The DRM was defeated with a piece of electrical tape.
In regards to a "generic" refill fertilizer. Who would sell it? Lets be honest, the bulk of Miracle Gro is sold at Lowes and HD, they ain't giving up that cash cow.
I still think they will eventually go the way of a permanent refill tank on the injector. Well, if our idea goes viral and their sales take a hit.

No one sells belts in half-inch increments at that size, which is why they made it 55 1/2" long. Of course, they want $60 for the $15 belt.

Sounds about right.
Although I have no problem with a company protecting its intellectual property, screwing the customer over for money is uncalled for.
