When using milorganite organic fertilizer it's best to read the label! The rate on the bag is a suggestion, a starting point. But a good milorganite application will be with your spreader set to the highest setting.
Organic slow release fertilizers won't burn your lawn, they won't volatilize like synthetics, and they feed the microbes in the soil which then feeds the lawn. It's the perfect lawn fertilizer!

Milorganite is the shit!, No really, genuine Milwaukee shit. And boy does it work. Not selective though, makes everything grow. Prepare to mow, mow, mow, and hand-pick weeds if you have them.

It can be exhausting being a home owner but if you do subtle updates and changes in 10 to 20 years the yard, the house really reflects the extra work. I have watched your videos before and really enjoy your kids coming to check things out when they stroll past the screen. Someday they will have to take care of their own "ranch" and calling Dad for advice!

Manufacturer recommendation is application of 4x per year. While applying weekly, will not harm your yard as stated in the video due to low Nitrogen content, you will begin to get an abundance of Phosphorus levels to the soil. Excessive Phosphorus levels reduces the lawn's ability to take up iron...which is the greening component you're getting out of the product. Not to mention the excessive cost you're accruing with overapplication....why would you be applying this weekly?

This is great! You are and I are so alike when it comes to Milorganite. I put down 2-3 bags just on the front alone. My grass always looks like a golf course. I do this many times a month too. Unfortunately, everyone is discovering this product and it's hard to find in stock around here. Price wise, it's one of the cheaper organic fertilizers and better. We've also learned that the DEER do not like it after you put it down. However, it doesn't keep the deer away forever.

Love your vids and the attachment you have with my beloved Milorganite. Here in Milwaukee we can get it on sale at 5 for $30 and dump it on down. My best defense for weeds is a thick lawn where weeds struggle to get a foothold. I use my Scotts spreader at max setting as well. You literally cant over-apply it. Just makes the grass darker green and thicker. I love the fact that I can broadcast it right into my flower and vegetable gardens and never have to worry about burn. Thanks for your enthusiasm. (hope I spelled that right)..... Cheers!

I found that applying at the "recommended" rate, it had little to no effect on the lawn. After a little experimentation, I found that applying a first application on setting 11 in one direction, followed by a second application on setting 11 in the opposite direction was the key for my lawn. Keep up the hard work, because the KBG stand will be worth it.

Nice video, IMO going by the guidelines on the bag does not mean people are putting it down wrong, and increasing your spreader setting to the max doesn't mean you're doing it right. It can't hurt the lawn but for people with bigger yards will be spending more. I learned from LCN to go by "pounds on the ground". Use the square footage of the yard to determine how many pounds to put down..now your going by your own guidelines :)

I also figured since it claims to be organic (only partially true) why not double up, which I did. 3 weeks later with an additional feeding, super results! Only problem is weeds like it too.

It will release the iron and nitrogen in part as soon as it is wet the first time. the part that is years is that it made from composed plant matter so unlike synthetics that only last a few months M will have a effect that can last up to 2 years. See the effect is is micro organisms that are alive in the soil . M will not kill then as the synthetic fert will. But do not take my word for it. go get a gallon of water split it into to equal parts and put two table spoons of any synthetic fert into one container and m in the other then put a dozen worms in each for 30 min then dump the water off. putting the worms into separate observation containers. 100% of the worms from the Synthetic fer should die within hours while the worms from M should be fine. now my point to this is the soil needs living organisms to be healthy soil. so you can now see which one will be healthy. Milo is slow release ,,, Al tho if you irrigate you can see a noticeable greener lawn the next day. I recommend Milo to all that want a green healthy lawn. But I have only been in lawn care since 1976.

As I write this my lawn is pretty much 100% brown and dead because I nuked it. If this weekend goes well, I'll have my soil test results, Miss Utility will have everything flagged and marked for safety, and I'll be renting a sod cutter and removing about the top inch of soil from may lawn, tilling the soil, then fixing the grade and leveling my lawn, putting down a starter fertilizer (and probably lime) and putting down Zenith Zoysia seed and hoping I get good results.

Hey man..i just bought my first milo fert yesterday. I lived in Canada so milo is not available, i needed to cross the border to buy one. On my area that i am with during the winter time it tends to be as low as -50 degrees celsius, my question is, is it alright to store milo outside the house like at my shed which has the dimension of 8x6? The shed is not insulated so it will be freezing there all winter..thanks

The problem is if you put down more, you will stink up the whole street and you neighbors will walk out of their house and say "What the hell is that smell?" I also notice a layer of slims builds up if you put too much down in one application.

I ran a sanitary district for 18 years and I know all too well what it is. Most processed sewage is used for tree farms and non-food crops fertilizer. Calling it "microbes" and organic is pure marketing crap.

Agree, and Milwaukee residents thank all of you for buying their sewage residue (Milorganite) so they don't have to landfill it. All the stuff that goes down Milwaukee's toilets and street drains gets dried, burned, pelletized, and packaged nicely (with a few nutrients added to boost the NPK) for you to spread in your yard. Pure marketing genius.

Ok after reading The MIlorganite thread I am thoroughly confused. However, my lawn came back because we got out of a drought in Worcester, MA. I used Milor on July 2016, Sept 2016, Grubex April 24 (too early), Step 1 May 6 2017, Bayer adv insec repell June 15th, and treated my lawn to an overdosed Milorg (drop spreader set at 11.. needs calibrating) on June 20th. Did not use Step 2 cause I seeded some areas. So big questions? Can you use Scotts products and Milorg? Did I burn my grass by accidently putting 36 pounds of Milorg on 870 sq feet? Should I return and get my money back on Step 3 and 4?

Not “dam libs”, it’s because of idiots like this using way too much fertilizer. Too many morons abuse these things which in turn get them regulated, even in “red”states. Overuse of fertilizers can lead to it getting into the water tables and screws up ecosystems which kill fish and wildlife all because some dumbass wants to get some views on KZbin.

@nicoandalysa
@nicoandalysa 6 жыл бұрын
HomesliceDrummer bag rate is almost 1 pound of nitrogen per 1,000 sqft. Just by doubling bag rate puts you at 2 pounds per 1k sqft. Putting down more nitrogen then the plant needs, even organic is stupid. It is not only wasteful but can cause other problems including the plant not being able to absorb other vital nutrients, excessive top growth, and leaching from the soil into waterways just cause it doesn’t burn doesn’t mean it’s ok to overuse DUMBASS
