An excellent lawn fertilizer, Milorganite (5-2-0) contains 4% iron. Grasses take up this iron, giving them a deep green color. However, unlike high nitrogen fertilizers, iron does not make plants grow fast. The result is a lawn with the color you desire without excessive growth (and mowing!).
For the best part, this deep green color stays with the lawn through hot, dry summer months. Plus, because this iron is organically complex, it does not stain concrete, like your drives, patios, sidewalks or other areas. Ideal for trees, shrubs and ornamentals, too! Pelleted for easy application.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Apply Milorganite anytime of year for a lush, green lawn that’s easy to maintain. Each 36 lb. bag covers 2,500 square feet. Will NOT burn, even in the hottest conditions. Avoid direct applications on steep slopes, in areas that flood, on wetlands or into surface water.
Ingredients: Biosolids (activated sewage sludge).

This lawn fertilizer is the best I have used. Grass looks great during a drought. Our neighbors grass turns brown and goes dormant first. they use Scotts. Ours grass always look great. Though we do allow for some weeds. We only use Organic.

I apply a double application in late fall. This gives time for the insoluble fertilizer to take effect. I leave grass clippings on the lawn during the growing season. Lawn looks great yet does not out grow my ability to mow.

While this product (had) been safe for years, the fact is, that todays Milorganite can come from any municipal sewage treatment facility. It may include many products that can't be filtered out before processing. Hospital waste,etc.

I apply Milorganite to my lawn every spring and really like how it responds. The iron in the fertilizer gives my lawn a beautiful green color without too much growth. I've used other fertilizers in the past (Scotts) that make my lawn grow like crazy — more mowing for me — and the green color never lasts too long. Milorganite lasts most the summer. Oh! It also keeps the deer away.
