That Milorganite alternative thats at Lowe's that you told us about last year went up in price a lot. I may end up going back to Milorganite this season.
I just purchased 4 bags of Milorganite for my yard it was $18.98 per bag at Walmart. One thing I have learned, is that you have to stock up now otherwise, it will be sold out for the duration of the summer. Just an FYI
I just bought a bag and put it down about a week ago and man oh man my lawn has never looked better just after seven days im real impressed definitely will stock up this summer while the price is still somewhat reasonable but a great product
Great video! Applied this last month. Grass has never been greener or thicker. My wife loves it. May not work for everyone but great for my lawn. Apply different fertilizer ratios in spring and fall.
Works great for what it is, works great on cool season grass when I fertilize in December and February. Keeps your grass healthy without a lot of growth in late fall, winter time in central NC.
With the square footage of my yard which is at 10,000 sq ft it takes too many bags of Milo to cover just one application and the size of the fert itself is small it just pisses out of the spreader. And be changed the setting so it doesn’t come out as fast but then I think it’s not getting enough in the lawn. I only use it now for a summer application because I switched to PGF complete , not premergents just feed it and spot treat weeds then overseed in the fall
I have a little over 20,000 sq ft. Four bags last me the entire year. I set my Scott’s spreader on 5 and my lawn greens up like pepper 🫑 all the time. 👍🏾
Milo is overpriced and overrated. Only 6% of the bag is Nitrogen. Nitrogen is the biggest bang for your buck. Don t get caught up with all that other nonsense
Milorgante goes on sale around now for $9.99.. Home Depot will do a price match if you show the the on line flier... --- I forgot to mention that it's fleetfarm that carries it, and their sale price around now is $6.99
Your neighbor should hire you, I know I would or I'd be asking questions. Milorganite may be hard to find in September but I bet the price is better. Walmart will move it to make way for Halloween stuff but Homedepot and others may stock it plus we can use the radius search to find supply at nearby stores or ask them to ship it to a local store for free.
Im using Milorganite for the first time this year. Recommended by my local nursery for recently installed bushes and new grass sections. Curious about the results.
This is great info! I’m new to this whole DIY lawncare and I’m determined to get my Bermuda looking beautiful! What are your thoughts on PGF Complete Fertilizer it’s supposedly professional grade and I was about to click buy in my Amazon cart before this popped up 😂
I have been telling a buddy of mine about milorganite for years. He kept blowing me off. Last year he finally tried it, now he's hooked. One day they'll listen 😂
welp that store big box store bought may work but I'm gonna put you guys on something....Humic acid. Improves nutrient uptake, water retention just overall health of the lawn bro. I always appreciate a brotha who takes pride in taking care of his sht. thank me later hahaha! good luck. by the way beautiful home also
I have Bermuda grass. I dethatched the yard to pull up the dead grass but did not water per the direction. So you're saying water it? I also left the clipping from dethatching and did the fertilizer over it. Did i waste it by not watering?
I used to buy 6 bags at the beginning and end of the season. Then my local homedepot and lowes stop carrying it for some reason. I called milorganite and asked what was going on. They said there was a shortage and should be back on the shelves. I have yet to see them restocked them. It's been about over 3 years. I have switched to what the professional golf care maintenance crew uses. It has 15% of nitrogen. So, without doing any work to the yard, it came out of dormancy with a dark green. I wish I could post a picture.
We know nothing about lawn care. We live in the Dallas Fort Worth area. This past winter was brutal on our lawn and trees. The lawn look spotty, thin, and just horrible. Is this a good product to use in Texas?……. When should It be applied ( now or summer)?
Hello BYD , i applied Lesco 007 in March and Yard mastery Stress blend in april Can i apply Lesco 007 again in May along with Flagship .. I have a neighbor with a yard with 100% weeds and i want to protect my yard.??? Thanks for your help
I saw a video or 2 today that claimed epsom salt will make your lawn a darker green along with Iron. I thought it was a joke initially but found one other vid with epsom salt application along with the product in this video I believe. Thoughts?
my walmart and lowes never has milorganite. ace hardware has it but it's like $35 which is a ripoff. i end up ordering on amazon for $25. i alternate it with sta green from lowes that is also $25.
Ive noticed that some bags have the 6-4-0 ratio on the front and others dont. Is there any difference between the bags that dont have the 6-4-0 ratio on the front?
I don’t know the science behind this but every year I use Scott’s weed and feed than one month later I just put a bag of 13-13-13 on my yard n I have the thickest greenest yard in the area.
Nice video! Tks. Couple of comments and questions. I've heard (everyone has their own opinion) that Milorganite should be applied 2x (double) as much as the bag says. So you really should apply 2 bags for 2,500 sq ft. I've used it for the past 5 years. But this year I want to try something different. Any recommendations?
Always water 💦 in any fertilizer for best results. That product won’t activate until watered in and then it will release slowly. If you put this on a dry lawn for a month, you won’t get any results like you will when you water it in.
@@380stroker it’s NOT organic . You won’t burn your lawn with much cheaper sources of Nitrogen if you don’t over apply . Stick with Urea . Dont get caught up in the Milo and yard mastery hype. Do some research and thank me later
Milo just isn’t worth it anymore. We need our TH-camr lawn care heroes to find us the next great slow release “organic” fert that’s easier on the wallet.
@@Happilee97 I did with sprinklers running once a week. I just bought Scotts Natural Lawn Food. Will see what that does with Alfalfa pellets and may throw down Milo again and see.
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral To be fair I applied Milo to St Augustine and the result wasn't much if any. I now have Bermuda. Will it green up Bermuda even more?
@@marcusush517 I agree. there are cheaper sources for N, but Milo servers a purpose for a certain lawn. A 50lb of straight urea might not be the solution for most.

I bought 4 bags for 86 bucks at home depot. Great starter fertilizer
It’s $9.99 at my local Ace in SE WI. It’s a great value at that price. At $15+, it’s just not worth it.
If I do a blanket spray to attack weeds, using the orange Spectracide Weed Stop for Lawns crabgrass preventer, when can I apply Milorgranite?
Same day
Wow, thank you much for the quick reply and guudance!
I also notice that the bag are somewhat smaller with less volume too

I’ve never done that plus it would probably be worst than buying Milo for 17,500!sq ft.
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral yep, I’m not thinking it’s not worth it but if there’s some around the house may try a small area sometime
I payed over $20 bought one. A week later local shops selling it for $14 a bag. 😅
Pro tip: best to buy supplies off season
Good thing I still live near FL and can get that Sunniland All Natural for $15
I have one bag of Sunniland all natural left. Applying it to back lawn today.
Can I do this and seed at the same time for overseeding in Texas?
Yes but apply separately
Great stuff 🔥
I grab at least 4 bags whenever I find it.
I spend $30 Milorganite bag from homedepot. yeah its expensive in maryland state. been 2 weeks, grass grow very slow. :(
I’m going with Sta Green from now on after the price increase
Found-it for $14.99 a bag at Rural King in Ohio. Still should be cheaper!!!
I just got my soil test results and I am low in N,K and micronutrients. Is this because I've been doing organics for a couple of years vs synthetic?
It could be a number of reasons 🤷🏾♂️
Rural King has it for $15 a bag
my walmart and lowes never has milorganite. ace hardware has it but it's like $35 which is a ripoff. i end up ordering on amazon for $25. i alternate it with sta green from lowes that is also $25.
The fertilizer are now 40 lbs.and charging a higher price
Rip off
I had great results with Milorganite but I swear each year I used it I would end up with mole crickets.
It got up to $30 something a bag at my Lowe’s last year, but I see it dropped down to $20.
Yikes 😬
Will it doo good in Fl , and with Fl heat should I water everyday

It that I know of 🤷🏾♂️

Milo has bio solids also known as doo doo. Thats why the smell. Nothing wrong with that but thats what it is.
I don’t know the science behind this but every year I use Scott’s weed and feed than one month later I just put a bag of 13-13-13 on my yard n I have the thickest greenest yard in the area.
Triple 13 is great. Twice the amount of Nitrogen in the bag than Milo. That stuff blows Milo away
Use it with def
can i do this and add barricade pre emergent too same time? im in texas i havent add my pre emergent to my st augstine yet 😅
