Put down Milorganite when the soil temperature is between 55 – 85 degrees Fahrenheit and before a rain shower.

This temperature and moisture level helps the soil absorb the nutrients in Milorganite.

Milorganite should be applied 4 times a year since it remains effective for up to 10 weeks.

It's an expensive choice to use instead of ______ and earlier in the spring or the fall.

Put down ANYTHING when conditions are nice (the other 46 weeks).
There are about a 1000 choices that should all do just fine then.
Most of them are far less expensive too.

Putting down ANYTHING definitely provides the same results in Spring through Summer typically burning the grass and promoting fungus which explains why they are far less expensive.

When it comes to grass seed and fertilizer, you get what you pay for.

Cannot wait for a nice spring day to bring back good old Milo.

Until then, it’s all synthetic.

I have put it down before the grass goes dormant up here in the northeast. My thought being to condition the soil for spring.

Excellent idea! Good time of the year for that final application….here’s hoping for a warm winter.

Trying something different this coming season…going to pass on Milo.

After the initial spring surge and things begin to slow down, going solely with Purely Organic Lawn Food for the entire season. Stay tuned!

Glad that you finally decided to abandon this.
Would be nice for you to delete this thread about milorganite; nasty stuff - full of lead, arsenic, etc.
The rain, wind could pick up the dust, particles and blow it around on your dog, children, in your lungs.

Not stopping it for any of the reasons you mentioned.

Still a great product, just curious how a season of Purely Organic Lawn Food compares. :Ok:
