Earth Friendly Fertilizer for Lawns and Gardens, Covers 2,500 Sq Ft

With over 95 years of recycling, the production of Milorganite fertilizer is one of the oldest recycling efforts in the nation. Since 1926, Milwaukee has been safely recycling nutrient-rich microbes from the city's water reclamation process into Milorganite's slow-release nitrogen fertilizer. These valuable recycled nutrients can be applied to lawns, flowers, vegetables, shrubs, and trees without any safety concerns.

Milorganite and MMSD (Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District) have a natural commitment to the environment and strive to establish and maintain sustainable practices. They continuously seek ways to reduce energy consumption, waste, and emissions. Through their products, services, operations, and community involvement, they promote the efficient use of resources for the benefit of people and the planet.

MMSD aims to significantly reduce energy consumption and plans to have 80% of its energy supplied from renewable sources by 2035. To achieve this goal, Milorganite already uses alternative energy sources such as solar, landfill gas, and digester methane in its production facilities.

Moving on to the product description, Milorganite may have 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. It should be stored in a cool, dry area away from children and animals. Seasonal fluctuating temperatures will not affect its quality or effectiveness if stored in a dry shed or garage.

Biosolids, which are residual microbes from sewage waste streams, are key ingredients in Milorganite. Milorganite does not expire and can work indefinitely if stored correctly in a cool and dry area.

Milorganite can be applied on top of mulch, but it may take longer for it to work its way into the soil. Alternatively, you can rake back the mulch, apply Milorganite, work it into the soil, and then return the mulch.

While some dogs may be attracted to the odor of Milorganite, it is not life-threatening if they consume it. However, watering the lawn after application can reduce their attraction to it. If your dog happens to eat Milorganite, there is no need to panic as it is not an emergency situation. Your dog may experience discomfort, but it is not harmful.

Milorganite is safe to use and complies with federal and state standards for public health and the environment. It can be confidently used for fertilizing lawns, trees, shrubs, flowers, and vegetables.

Whether you have clay or sandy soil, Milorganite is effective. Its high organic matter content improves soil drainage, aeration, and temperature, providing optimal conditions for plant growth. It releases water-soluble nutrients slowly, reducing the chance of leaching, and promotes beneficial microbial activity for healthy soil.

Experience unrivaled growth and vibrancy in your lawn and garden with Milorganite's unique nutrient blend. Its eco-friendly formula ensures that you achieve greening power without the risk of over-burning. With sustained release nutrition for 8-10 weeks, no additional watering is required.
