The best time to apply milorganite will depend upon several factors, including the type of grass you have, soil temperature at the time of application. So, let’s get down to when you should put down Milorganite for best effect.
Milorganite is a slow releasing fertilizer which is a unique, organic fertilizer that is, believe it or not, the byproduct of a sewage treatment plant operated by the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District.
It is great to use Milorganite if you wish to maintain a healthy and green lawn that is able to develop strong deep roots.
How It Works
The sewage plant takes wastewater, separates the clean water, and puts it back in Lake Michigan. The organic microbes that have consumed the wastewater are heat dried and what’s left is what makes Milorganite lawn Fertilizer.
