I love me some Milo! I only use it once a season, but every time I open that bag... brings a smile to my face. Great video LCN! I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
I can’t tell you how much your videos keep me looking on the bright side of things bro. I still go through the older content and I am always reminded that the grass is GREENER on the other side or the Glass is always half full.
Milorganite is slow release so you can safely apply whenever you like, however that could be wasteful depending on what the rate was when you applied the Scott’s. I’d probably wait at least a month, probably two, to apply Milo unless you want the iron from the milo to get that darker green
Hey from Palm Harbor... I've been using the Sunniland clone from LOWES and am having good success. Neighbors aren't thrilled with the smell, but all the dogs in the neighborhood love to roll in the success. I'm a popular guy right now!
When I first subscribed and started watching you, Allyn, I could find and buy Milo for about 9$ a bag and I would find it on clearance all the time for 5$ a bag cuz no one bought it!! I miss those days
I like these videos from you that get into the “geeky” side of our hobby/passion/obsession. Shines a light on things and makes you think about what’s best for the individual. Excellent work.
Menards carries a Milorganite substitute called “e-Corganite” it’s a 36lb bag of 4-3-0 with 3.5% derived from biosolids. One bag covers 2500 SF, $12.99/bag before rebate
I have use milorganite for over 10 years and my lawn stays green all year long, even have grass growing under my large oak tree, this stuff is the best fertilizer
Milo did wonders for my lawn in Virginia. Not so much for my lawn in Reno. I have a lot of things going on with my lawn now other than trying to grow tall fescue in a high desert.
We have a Milo clone here in Massachusetts called Bay State Fertilizer. Produced by our local waste water treatment facilities. A true bio solid 4-3-0 with 4% iron. The best part, the last time I checked they were selling for 3$ 50lb bags!
Moorganite isn't "fake". It's just a relatively new alternative to Milorganite. Moorganite is made by Earth Science. Similar to Milorganite, its made from recycled natural materials, specifically dairy cow manure and chicken feather meal; whereas, Milorganite's source is treated wastewater. Just different slow release fertilizer products with similar sounding names that essentially serve the same purpose. I prefer Milorganite over Moorganite (which will make your lawn smell like a dairy farm), but both are effective products.
Being from the Milwaukee,Wi region I've used milo for years until I found out that my phosphorus was too high and my potassium was too low. Still a great product that I support.
In 2019 I noticed Milorganite was getting hard to find around the Northeast I saw an entire pallet being delivered to Home Depot and immediately bought the whole thing….Unfortunately now it’s all gone😢
I’m glad you did this video. I’ve been seeing Moorganite & I was wondering if it was another type of fertilizer that milorganite made. Glad I haven’t tried it! Just bought my milorganite this morning!
I understand milo has sky rocketed in both popularity and price. Just wish I was more available ive been using it for about 7 years now since you first brought it to the for front
I miss Milo! I bought my house in 2017 and used Milo for the first two years to great effect but starting in 2019 it was impossible to find unless you knew someone who worked at a supplier.
any PFAS or "forever chemicals" in Moorganite? Accumulation of the chemicals in the body has been linked to cancer, studies have shown, or other adverse health effects.
Home Depot was actually pointing customers to the milorganite alternatives last summer. They had a huge sign that read “no milorganite, no problem. Buy this instead”
This is gonna be a great series. I really hope it opens some people's eyes as I can already tell where you're going with all of this. Well done bud! 👍🏼
Awesome video. I saw the mooganite a couple years back and noticed what you pointed out. I'm going to give it test simply for the 4 % calcium we'll see. Always a pleasure watching your channel LCN. You have taught much to alot of homeowners including myself!!!!!
@@SOMETHINGWITHSETH My bad, I did not see that you were talking about the fake Mil-Town beer *hits. The Milorganite reads 1.2%. That 5-1-1 looked good to me when I saw it on sale last fall. I have not seen it yet this year.
@@TheSoloAsylum I bought a 32 lb bag in Jun 2020 for exactly $15.98 at my local home depot, and it now sells for $16.98 in the same store. I have the receipt from that purchase to prove it. If you want ignore the fact that the price of Milorganite has been increasing a lot in recent years - and since long before recent inflation hikes - mostly due to its incrase in popularity and take the opportunity to regurgitate false political propaganda, then you should be blaming republicans, since Milorganite’s price increased a lot more from 2018 to 2020 than from 2020 to 2022.
Was hoping to see you talk about the Nitro Organic bag. I picked up 4, 38lb bags for $13 each at my local hardware store. It does say derived from biosolids on the bag and even better is it's made right here in Georgia where I live. Hoping to see some good results from a local company!
Podcast question: You touched on pre emergents and I have the one from your store. I'm in Chicago and soil temps are nearing 55. Can I put down my pre emergent and also fix a 4x4 section of lawn with some of that Scotts patch repair at the same time? Can you touch on what else can be applied when you put down your pre emergents?
Would be good to make a video of the actual visual results to the lawn, as that's what most of us are concerned about. how good is the lawn is going to look, how long will it last and the growth you get out of it vs color
Calling moorganite a fake is a stretch. I have used milorganite for years and after using moorganite once, I was thoroughly impressed and now prefer it instead of milorganite. It’s a great product!
I used Milo for a few years and the results were very disappointing. I switched to Anderson 44-0-0 HCU then AMS 21-0-0 this year I will be using a different Anderson fert.
I was just about to apply Milo to my yard. I’ve got two bags. I got them at different stores. One bag says “Derived from Biosolids” and the other bag says “Derived from processed sewage”. One of them is the exact same bag you had in this video with the house on the front. That’s the one that says derived from biosolids. Any advice? Should I put either of these down or none of them?
Great video I've definetly seen fake milo around before! For a future product you should consider making a blend like Flagship but adding in some prodiamine to be used as a spring "step 1". I think it would sell very fast with that bio nite and all the other goodies plus the prodiamine
I am glad that more places are making versions of Milo. I just wish every state would use their human waste byproducts like this to pull people away from the synthetics so we can be less reliant on foreign countries for fertilizer and chemical compounds . If biosolid ferts become so readily available that there is enough for farmers to be able to natural and organic compost and similar products for their crops at a big discount than the prices of food and everything would drop and farmers can be profitable again. Thousands of small farms have filed for bankruptcy and been sold to investors who just want the farmland at a massive discount. As well the plants could help subsidize the farming industry as there would be enough plants manufacturing the products that there would be profit available enough to do so. Which would make a big impact on the country.
Hey Al, big fan. Warehouse is awesome! So I purchased the bio stimulant package. I had a remaining bag of fert (22-0-6). Should I also use the milo? Just trying to throw'er down!
For those of you in the Pacific Northwest, there's a "Perfect Blend" fertilizer carried by Lowes that is similar to Milorganite. It is a 8-4-2 blend, 25lb bag for $16.97. Made in a plant in Othello WA.
I just snagged 2 bags of Milo from my Home Depot last week. I had to have my teenager climb over a gate and squeeze between some pallets to retrieve them. Would have bought more but the remaining bags were busted. They were priced at $17 each.
Looking forward to your input on the the Sunniland All Natural clone. As a Florida boy running an organic, soil-health-focused 11,000 sq ft lawn program, it ticked all my boxes.
There was a test done I forget where but they compared organic nitrogen to synthetic nitrogen and they were exactly the same compounds. And they should be.
I haven’t been watching your videos for a while now and you have a warehouse now! That’s awesome!!! I’ve been working like crazy haven’t had time to do any lawn stuff, but it’s still pretty cold here in Plymouth Indiana haha….. Going to get back in real soon!!
I bought two 50-pound bags of Milorganite from my local feed store for $23/each. They ran out, so I then bought several more 30-pound bags of "Nitro Organic" for about $13/each. The bag said "4-3-0" and 1% iron. On the back it says "derived from Class A Eq. biosolids". It stinks like Milorganite, so I assume it works. But the numbers are below Milorganite's 6-4-0 rating.
Hey allyn. Do you know if the walla walla soil testing site is running behind on processing samples? My sample was delivered to the PO Box last Wednesday. But the sample tracker in the app, it’s not showing that it’s been picked up. Isn’t it bad for the soil sample to be sitting in the water solution for extended periods of time? Took my sample last Monday. It was delivered Wednesday. Thanks pal.
you will be fine, the capsule can only give and take so much so sitting longer doesn't matter. We had a rush on soil tests so I'm sure they are a couple days behind. If you don't get the result by Monday (tomorrow) hit us with a ticket and we will call the lab for you directly: yardmastery.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
My Fleet Farm started selling a BCA brand with a 5-5-0 analysis. Smells and looks just like Milo. Prills look the same. It's marginally cheaper and I'll probably give it a good few throwers this year to see how she do.
My local store must have a great contract with Milwaukee. 8.50 /bag when you buy 4 bags or more. At that price I can’t use anything else, but I do use some Pro-scape 19-19-19 with sulphur and iron. I use it mostly in the fall and milo in the summer. Al, can you review bio-nite for PFAS content. It scared me at first when I saw Milo had it but it is really low. I would like to try your fert, but I want to know the PFAS content first. Here in Michigan we had the whole PFAS issue in Rockford and it is a concern
Great video brother! Keep on rocking! Also be on the looking for major discounts at the big box stores right now. I scooped up 4 BioAdvanced Lawn Fungus spray bottles (Propiconizole) for $1 each!!!! Normally $21.98 a pop. Over $80 worth of product for $4! Still on cloud 9 about that one.
My local big box has been sold out of Milorganite for so long that they now have a "looking for Milorganite?" sign that suggests trying one of the fakes. Unfortunately none of the fakes work as well.
Oh good. Smaller bags. I have a big yard, but I find that I only need half to 3/4 of the bag at most. I haven't done Milo in years. I haven't been able to find it. Last time I saw it was 2019.
Allyn that Moorganite or whatever it’s called is definitely a bio solid. Saying it’s not is wrong. It’s derived from chicken and cow manure and feather meal (heat processed poultry feathers) which are all considered bio solids.
You should compare Milorganite with GreenEdge. Its Guaranteed analysis pegs it at 6-3-0 with Ca and Mg in addition the Fe. It's also derived from Biosolids. It covers 4800 sq ft at $29.65 per 40# bag. It says it's got 25% humic and fulvic in it.
@@TheLawnCareNut SiteOne in Orlando has it. I've been using this stuff for the last two years as my alternate to 7-0-20 on my off month for my zoysia. I cycle between 7-0-20 and GreenEdge every 4 to 6 weeks. About 5 feeding of each per year.
Where are you finding milorganite for plus $30? My co-op is selling original milo for $9.99 for the big bag, 32lbs. I dont use it but your pricing seems ridiculous wherever you bought it, guess I should buy pallets of this stuff and resell it online.
I just purchased 5 pallets at a discounted $8 per bag, selling it at my store for $18 per bag, already have 55 of them sold, I should clear $5300 after all said and done. Love it when companies overprice and I just go buy it discounted and tax free, then sell it even cheaper than they do and make a killin, it just shows how much they out price themselves
i do use milo and it has proven to me it`s a great product but i`m sure there are better fertilizers out there i`m just not that educated on it. Thanks for the break down it was very helpful.
I have been using MILORGANITE for years and will never buy the fake stuff,,, it is hard to find now so last month when I found it I purchased 6 bags,, enough for about 3.5 years,,I have St Aug.

I have to admit that I actually had a lot of fun making this one. I love digging into labels. 🤘
I’m just surprised by how much milo has gone up in price, it used to be the bargain option
Site 1 Carries the 50lb bags for 18 bucks in my area. Check them if you have one near you.
I just applied Scotts Turf Builder Halts Crabgrass Preventer, how long should I wait before spreading Milorganite?

Great video brother! Keep on rocking! Also be on the looking for major discounts at the big box stores right now. I scooped up 4 BioAdvanced Lawn Fungus spray bottles (Propiconizole) for $1 each!!!! Normally $21.98 a pop. Over $80 worth of product for $4! Still on cloud 9 about that one.
What’s up Al what!!! Home Depot gave you your own setup in store sweet BOSS moves love it Logan Square
That’s his warehouse but the racks look just like Home Depot 🤣
@@gpoman9988 ah man he got me smh
My local big box has been sold out of Milorganite for so long that they now have a "looking for Milorganite?" sign that suggests trying one of the fakes. Unfortunately none of the fakes work as well.
Hey Al, in your next video can you talk about which of these contain PFAS? Thanks!
Yeah that's just not in my wheelhouse, sorry.
I’m in Florida panhandle area Which fertilizer should I throw down first stress blend or flagship on St.Augustine and Centipede grass
Stress Blend would be great right now.
@@TheLawnCareNut thank you love your videos
Walmart had 40lb Moorganite on sale for $9.99. Smelled and tasted like Milo. Picked up 20 bags
Another great video!!
Oh good. Smaller bags. I have a big yard, but I find that I only need half to 3/4 of the bag at most. I haven't done Milo in years. I haven't been able to find it. Last time I saw it was 2019.
Does anyone notice more mushrooms popping up using these non-synthetic fertilizers? I do.
Allyn that Moorganite or whatever it’s called is definitely a bio solid. Saying it’s not is wrong.
It’s derived from chicken and cow manure and feather meal (heat processed poultry feathers) which are all considered bio solids.
Oh I see you are working for Home Depot!!
You should compare Milorganite with GreenEdge. Its Guaranteed analysis pegs it at 6-3-0 with Ca and Mg in addition the Fe. It's also derived from Biosolids. It covers 4800 sq ft at $29.65 per 40# bag. It says it's got 25% humic and fulvic in it.
I looked in every store here and didn't see it. Maybe its just a regional thing
@@TheLawnCareNut SiteOne in Orlando has it. I've been using this stuff for the last two years as my alternate to 7-0-20 on my off month for my zoysia. I cycle between 7-0-20 and GreenEdge every 4 to 6 weeks. About 5 feeding of each per year.
Where are you finding milorganite for plus $30? My co-op is selling original milo for $9.99 for the big bag, 32lbs. I dont use it but your pricing seems ridiculous wherever you bought it, guess I should buy pallets of this stuff and resell it online.
It's $17.99/bag. I'll cover the math in the next video and I think that will answer your questions.
I just purchased 5 pallets at a discounted $8 per bag, selling it at my store for $18 per bag, already have 55 of them sold, I should clear $5300 after all said and done. Love it when companies overprice and I just go buy it discounted and tax free, then sell it even cheaper than they do and make a killin, it just shows how much they out price themselves
Update I sold it all! 7 days to unload feed it all, gonna buy two more pallets today, thanks
i do use milo and it has proven to me it`s a great product but i`m sure there are better fertilizers out there i`m just not that educated on it. Thanks for the break down it was very helpful.
you will like the video I release tonight, lots of math 😂
I have been using MILORGANITE for years and will never buy the fake stuff,,, it is hard to find now so last month when I found it I purchased 6 bags,, enough for about 3.5 years,,I have St Aug.
Could you do an analysis of foreign substance in Milorganite? Waste from a treatment facility could have pharmaceuticals and illicit drugs.
sounds like something activists with an agenda would promote 😇
@@TheLawnCareNut I’m an engineer that worked on several projects in waste water management in IL and Broward Co, FL. I also lived near Milwaukee and know the historical and current toxicity of their wastewater that is pumped into Lake Michigan. I guess you have some homework to do. 😇
@@stokesjo82 I did some similar homework on organic peanuts once and found that hundreds die yearly from them. It was then that I realized we are all doomed and the Bible has been right all along.
@@TheLawnCareNut I’m on a well so it’s important to know what’s going in my system. No worries, I’ll figure it out.
Too expensive now. Can’t afford to use it on my lawn. $22 a bag for people crap. Crazy.
What about using liquid iron on my St. Augustine lawn?
People over-talk the effectiveness of liquid iron. It's a tool, but it will never replace nitrogen.
I plan on using it in the summer during the fertilizer ban when I need a green pop.
@@gpoman9988 That's what I'm doing as well.
