Milorganite All-Purpose Slow-Release Nitrogen Fertilizer, 32 Lb Bag (Pack of 4) - for Lawns, Flowers, Gardens

From the Brand: Milorganite, a Sustainable Solution

Over 95 Years of Recycling: The production of Milorganite fertilizer is one of the nation's oldest recycling efforts. Since 1926, Milwaukee has safely recycled the nutrient-rich microbes resulting from the city's water reclamation process into Milorganite's slow-release nitrogen fertilizer. Consumers can safely apply these valuable recycled nutrients to their lawns, flowers, vegetables, shrubs, and trees.

Natural Commitment to the Environment: Establishing and maintaining sustainable practices are naturally core values to Milorganite and MMSD (Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District). They're always seeking ways to reduce energy consumption, waste, and emissions. Through their products, services, operations, and community involvement, they promote the efficient use of resources to benefit all people and the planet.

A Sustainable Vision: MMSD continues to be a national leader in green solutions to protect our freshwater sources. MMSD has a vision to significantly reduce energy consumption, and by 2035, it will have 80% of its energy supplied from renewable sources. Milorganite is already using alternative energy sources such as solar, landfill gas, and digester methane in its production facilities to achieve this goal.

Product Description: Milorganite has an earthy aroma when first applied, but the odor should dissipate within a few days. Rain or watering after application can help reduce the smell. Milorganite, like all fertilizers, should be stored in a cool, dry area out of the reach of children and animals. It has no expiration date and will work indefinitely if stored properly.

Milorganite can be applied on top of mulch, but it will take longer for it to work down into the soil. An alternative is to rake back the mulch from the base of the plant, apply Milorganite, work it into the soil, and then return the mulch. Some dogs are attracted to the odor of Milorganite, which may lead to them rolling on freshly fertilized areas or eating it off the lawn or garden. You can reduce this attraction by watering your lawn after application.

Milorganite complies with federal and state standards for the protection of public health and the environment. It can be used with confidence for all of your fertilizing needs, including lawns, trees, shrubs, flowers, and vegetables. Milorganite works well in both clay and sandy soils, as it contains 85% organic matter by weight, which improves soil drainage, aeration, and microbial activity.

Milorganite's slow-release plant food formula provides nitrogen and other nutrients for up to 8-10 weeks after application and does not need to be watered in. It can be safely used in lawns, flowers, shrubs, trees, and fruit and vegetable gardens, promoting strong roots and sturdier stems. Milorganite provides the nutrients every garden needs to grow the biggest and greatest abundance.
