Have never seen that before. Found it on the Home Depot website: Search Results for*milorganite fertilizer*at The Home Depot

BUT it is not in the store now.

I had a pallet of that couple years ago ... it worked real good. You can't put to much on ... not suppose to burn. Its slow acting so lasted longer than other fertilizers I have used. Really greened up my yard. I did get some weird looks from people walking around the corner lot here ... it will smell a little bit for 3-4 days ... kinda like walking next to a water treatment plant ... maybe because its processed waste from water treatment plant. It was cheaper per bag then other things I used but it takes like 3-4 times as much compared to a normal fertilizer. Timm

Thanks for the info. I never noticed any smell. Also you are making me wonder if I put it on to light. I am going to try a heavier dose next time just to see how it works even though I did get results from my light dose.

Will try it next week. Ironite has made the lawn the most green.

I just found a small amount of a "wetting agent" I used 10 years ago, Aqueduct : Aqueduct :: Chemicals :: Products | Advanced Turf Solutions, Inc.

Seems no one here is familiar with it.

 

[MowerMark]

I know nothing about wetting agents. You mentioning it is the the 1st I ever heard of it. What exactly are they used for? Ill google lowes and see if they have a picture. The stuff I use is brown and can get a little bit dusty.

Lime once a year, as ph tested, and Milorganite (see the above link), a few times a year works great.
Even during dry summers.

Read the origin on the package of Milagronite. It is basically processed human waste so it will have some smell like a waste plant.
