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!

[@crystalritter1683]

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?

so far this is the best stuff for my lawn. i put it everywhere shrubs trees containers. wont burn grass. just dont use it on sick trees or weak shrubs etc. established only. my routine is to spread it just bedore a rainy day here in cent fl.

[@luckyb3859]

Get ready to mow! You're going to get heavy top growth. It may be slow release feeding, but N will get used as it becomes available. Since you have high maintenance KYB, a heavy dew will have the turf on an every other day mow. If the season turns wet, you're going to need a grounds crew or brush mower to keep up!

[@PeterGregg]

Just getting started. First I got the idea that it was to be spread 4 times a year. Then The Lawn Care Nut suggested every 5 weeks. Now you are introducing weekly. I love it. I am in the Miami area and I find this is getting expensive. Any alternatives, or this is The One? Oh, and I appreciate your videos very much, thumbs up!

[@GrassDaddy]

Well I do it weekly when trying to get it to fill in but then monthly once it's good. If it's expensive you can supplement with synthetics though!

[@brianwichart2827]

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.

[@GrassDaddy]

+Brian Wichart yeah at the low rate it's so slow you won't notice. which is fine if thats your style but I prefer pushing it farther!

[@anthonyw2605]

Moved into our new home a couple of months ago and now that the grass is starting to green, I am trying this product for the first time. Set my dial to 13, so hopefully in a few weeks I'll follow up with how it's greening up. Fingers crossed. Awesome vid by the way.

[@GrassDaddy]

Awesome! Just realize the first time you might see white fuzzy stuff the next day.. This is normal, the bacteria in the soil have a little frenzy but it's the good bacteria that you want.

[@jamesbeaet5135]

[@teresamier9370]

I love Milorganite but it always smells like I have a sewer on my lawn. Grass is really great with it though.

[@Marmocet]

Urea _can_ volatilize (some portion of it turns into ammonia gas) when if gets damp and sits on the surface of the soil. With urea, the trick to avoiding volatilisation losses is to spread it just before it rains so the urea dissolves and infiltrates into the soil. A better form of urea to use is urea formaldehyde. It's a slow release form of urea that is water insoluble and relies on microbial activity to release the nitrogen in it in a form that plants can use. Because microbial activity is highest at about the same time that plant growth is at its most vigorous, the nitrogen from urea formaldehyde gets released right when your plants need it most, and that ensures that very little of your nitrogen is lost to volatilisation and runoff. That keeps environmental problems associated with fertilizer use to a minimum and it also means that a much larger proportion of the nitrogen you put out actually gets used by the plants you're targeting.

[@drabigorspins]

This is the most amazing fertilizer video I have ever seen! The music was great! I'm going to go fertilize so hard.

[@rickarmstrong9660]

I sowed new seed about 5-6 weeks ago, along with a starter fertilizer. It is looking very good now and I have cut the new grass one time so far. I bought some Milo and was planning to use it but should I use a starter fertilizer again or go with the Milo?

A couple of weeks ago I was in. Big Box store, $1.00 a bag, not selling it any longer, had them load to pallet on my pickup, scored. My use will be in my chips, as here in AZ we need organic matter to go with our gumbo clay. Using Tigersol with it, so far so good, the cover crops look dark so the C/N ratios seem to work.

[@timothyfletcher8131]

Grass daddy how did your experience with bay state fertilizer go?

[@GrassDaddy]

Timothy Fletcher its great savings, great product, and an interesting pickup location lol

[@GardenerShane]

When they say "slow release" they mean it. I put my Milo down 3 weeks ago and JUST now seeing results. Very dark green though! Worth the wait plus microbial bonus.

[@philthelawnman]

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.

[@geraldhagengruber3207]

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.

[@53toddk]

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.

[@mesta9997]

there's the intelligence... thank you!

[@neville78]

How often do you use it? I just killed off my Bermuda and replanted KY Bluegrass. It’s been about 3 weeks and it looks great. Do you think I should use a starter or this milogranite ?

[@strongisland7015]

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 :)

[@johnnypkbond1251]

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!

yeah I don't see how people compare organics to synthetics and then complain that organics are just hype when they don't even use the organics correctly. If their soil is dead, organics are going to work very slowly, unless they use compost teas or mycorrhizae on the lawn also. synthetics are good if you want to constantly have issues you have to buy something to fix it with.... I never have disease or deficiency issues in the areas where I practice good soil care

[@Minadarling119]

I use Milorganite everyday, you think it’s enough?

[@arielstereo5484]

Milo has nitrogen, phosphorus and iron but no potassium. Potassium helps stressed lawns from heat and disease. I would get a soil test to see what you are lacking before applying anything. I did one and lack nitrogen and potassium. I applied two bags of milo 4 weeks ago and have not seen any results. Regardless when the weather cools here (105 in Texas) I will apply some potassium along with milo or a different fertilizer if I don't see any change. To answer your question apply the specified amount for your lawn sqft and also only 4 times a year. Everyday won't change a thing but empty your wallet.

Did it work?

[@Juncti]

Does Milorganite require an immediate water in and any risk to pets entering the yard after treatment? Also curious about application timing when there's lots of heavy rain. Is it best to wait for a few days of clear weather to prevent it washing away? Here in Louisiana we've been getting rain a few times a week lately

[@mwoodj]

Milorganite does not need to be watered in. Synthetics need to be watered in because the nitrogen is directly absorbed into the plant in the form of salts. If they are absorbed into the leaves they will burn. Milorganite feeds the soil. It does not hurt the grass for the milo to sit on it. If you are expecting a big rain shortly after applying milo it is actually best to not water it in because too much water can push the nutrients further down in the soil than you want. If you are not expecting a lot of rain watering the milo in can help to make it work faster. The bottom line with milo is that it's "goof proof". Water it in, don't water it in, use too much, use too little... it really doesn't matter. Just throw it down!

Help me understand the logic, more money for less nitrogen, what am I missing here?

[@mooseknucklegarage8439]

Robert Johnson more nitrogen is not always a good thing. Too much it burns your lawn up and turns yellow. Milogranite is only $7 a bag where I live and it's best used in the hot summer months so it doesn't burn the lawn

[@robertjohnson8551]

Moose knuckle Garage ok thanks will keep that in mind.

[@MadMetalShop]

Aaron Siering I don't buy that. If you have to use milorganitie then what is your lawn then dependant on? Milorganitie 😂. With the exception that it'll never look or actually be as healthy as a lawn that also uses it in conjunction with synthetic fertslizer that has the same things that the plant and soil needs to actually give the plant its best chances. I mean I'm all for organic but the rest I find to be kinda tin foil territory. I rather spend less effort on better synthetic then have to do more work for less pay so to speak.

[@l.leefreeman2148]

All you people are Wrong... Use the regular setting sfor Milorganite which is 5.2 on a Scotts Edgeguard. Then get a BAG of IRONITE andf put it down for the lush en color you crave Only in the Month of JULY.. It will last through to October & NOT BURN, Have been driving my Neighbors Krazy on how I get a deep green in July & they keep using Lawn Care services that don't get it.. lol Did any of you take Chemistry in High School? bTW wALLY WORLD HAS IS FOR A 2 DAY PICKUP AT COMPETITIVE PRICES TO THE bIG BOX STORES..

[@floridaswampman7648]

The milorganite company has a very good marketing program. It's hi phosphate and iron fertilizer and they say put it down at double the rate. But it's "ORGANIC" so it's got to he good. I smell a pile of shit. Ooops. That's what it's made from. I want to buy in to the company. It's a money machine.

[@kcmaldonado3948]

Milwaukee residents are going to have to step up their food consumption to keep up with the demand for my lawn.

[@GrassDaddy]

Yeah! C'mon guys keep producing for us!

[@russell311000]

lollll

[@mre3161]

Good video but some states have fertilizer laws of how much fertilizer can be applied per app and season. Next will probably be laws what time of day or days you can cut your lawn. Dam Libs..I say put down what is needed to achieve the results you want to achieve.

[@GrassDaddy]

Mr Efficiency yup I'm told when I can water.. even if I had one of those super efficient smart controllers it wouldnt matter because I can only water when they allow lol so the whole town waters whether it is needed or not when its their time.

[@nicoandalysa]

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]

HomesliceDrummer nitrogen is nitrogen, too much of it not good your grass/plants, dumbass. And there is not just nitrogen in milo, there is also phosphorus, in high amounts can also be a problem, DUMBASS.

[@nicoandalysa]

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

[@ChrisJones1974]

HomesliceDrummer the source of nitrogen doesn’t matter...nitrogen is nitrogen. Organic or synthetic in lakes and streams is bad news...

[@aclaudio1969ify]

do you recommend watering the lawn before or after applying it

[@GrassDaddy]

+El Padrino after simply because before youll make the milo stick to you while applying lol

[@53toddk]

After...Milorganite is activated by water and it won't do much of anything until it is gently, but thoroughly watered-in. If you apply it heavily and then a hard rain comes along, a lot of it can be washed away.

[@dwags59]

Love the smell in the morning after a good watering 🤮

[@GrassDaddy]

Haha yeah buddy

[@boydarborist6902]

🤣💩

[@bryanvozar1698]

dig the music it made my klipsch jump up and say wow please seed me lol

[@GrassDaddy]

Haha thx

[@ARon82]

Why does that lawn look like crap with all those bare spots everywhere if you use Milorganite so much?

[@GrassDaddy]

+AnthonyTube cuz its a new lawn, I killed the lawn off and planted kbg. it also doesnt help that its been so cold and no sun.

[@JCTheLawnCareGuy]

AnthonyTube lawns take a while to establish. Like anything in life, you build up to make it turn into what you eventually desire it to become. If lawncare is a something that peaks your interest, I recommend following Grassy Daddy's videos as he truly knows what he's doing. You'll be very surprised to see how amazing he can turn a lawn into.

[@garygoessner8695]

Grass Da

[@DavidGPope]

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.

[@GrassDaddy]

Yeah and they are shrinking the bag sizes.. AGAIN!

[@violettak7576]

you make me hahahaha and your video makes my day. Just make sure you sweep your concrete patio or driveway. Iron is leaving corrosion marks. This happen to me.

[@GrassDaddy]

Good point! We don't have any concrete here so I haven't had to think about it

[@scottstewart8737]

What does you make me mean?

[@violettak2246]

Scott Stewart is my English bothering you?

[@alaskansourdoughwormsgarde4392]

Where can u buy it? I'm in Alaska.

[@GrassDaddy]

+Catherine Fredericks usually home depot has it

[@alaskansourdoughwormsgarde4392]

Thanks I'll check.

[@CCCC-tq8yo]

That's a lot of crap on ur lawn lol

[@GrassDaddy]
