Screamin' Green by Clarus, it's like Milorganite on crack!

 

Thanks for the reply. Do you purchase online or doo any stores carry it??

 

And I thought I was the only one who ever used it. It was a mix of synthetic (Urea) and biosolids (Milorganite) 16% N. I found it at a grocery store a couple of years ago. 50-lb bag was like $25. They also had a version with Prodiamine. Never saw it again after that.

 

Another option is to stock up on Milo when it goes on sale. Last year we never got a good sale, but lets hope this year we do.

If it goes on sale, you will see it in this post.

Us Southerners don't usually get those sales on Milo like you Northerners do

 

Yeah no sale for this transplanted southerner last year...lol....

Neither do most of us. Every "sale" I've seen has ended up being nothing more than a tease in my area. They're on for like an hour, and all the bags get spoken for, and then it's over, and it's $16 per bag again. I even tried price matching once at HD during one of those, and failed b/c the Milo wasn't actually in stock at the time.

Green, aren't there a few states by you that offer their own "Milo" for a lot less like Bay State. I know all those States up in New England are right by each other but not sure if it's worth the drive or not.

 

Yes, if you have the correct vehicle and time to go get it, being local. I don't do it, so I'm not sure what the prices are, but they're definitely a lot lower since it's local. Driving from NC just to get Milo...not sure you'd actually save much when all is said and done. The roads can be really congested up here, and not just in cities, either.

Edit: I believe Baystate (in Mass) and Oceangro (in NJ) are the two.

 

I moved South about two years ago. I am originally from long island ny. Maybe on my next trip up north I can pick some of these alternatives up. Thank you

Man.....$16 / bag....what the heck is that nonsense.

I can get it for $6-7.99 anyday of the week in my area. It will sometimes go below that which is nice too.

 

It's been about 12-13 dollars here for about 6 months. No sales, but not 16 bucks either.

 

Typically 13.99 here in NY at the big box stores. Try and find a local shop. Our county produce store has it for 9.99.

 

Learned about Screamin' Green from Matt Martins "The Grass Factor" on YouTube. I get it from SiteOne landscaping and it's really cheap, I think I paid like $18 a bag but a bag covers 20k or somewhere around there? Don't quote me please. It has ammonium sulfate, urea, chicken poultry, and biosolids (WIN) and is 60% water insoluble N. It also contains Calcium and 2% Iron. It's a nice blend of synthetic and non-synthetic fertilizers to help with the soil micro organism culture as well as get the guaranteed quick and extended green up.

 

I have a site one local to me, so I will go check it out. I know Milorganite is organic slow release which leaves some room for error (won't Burn lawn if you put down too much). Is screamin green a similar product or do I have to be more cautious when applying?? Also is it slow or fast release??

 

Water insoluble nitrogen is what most people are talking about when they say something is slow release. Screamin' Green does have 40% water soluble nitrogen and the ammonium sulfate will react quickly (3%) the urea will work slightly less quick (3.4%ish), sulfer coated urea is even less quick (7.25%), and then the poultry manure and bio solids eventually (2.4%).

So simple answer, yes you do need to be more cautious. You don't need to be scared of it though. I was wrong about label instructions though. A bag covers 11.4k at .7 lb N/k or 8.8k at .9 lb N/k. It's pretty unlikely that you would burn the lawn by intentionally putting down double the .7 lb N/k bag rate. Not that you should do this, there's no real benefit.

Check out the rest of their lineup too, they have a lot of other options including a 5-4-0 that's strictly biosolids just like Milorganite. Claruschoice.com

God i wish, way out west here i can only find 1 store that actually sells it, and of course its for $16/bag. Im worried they will stop selling it or be sold out and ill be SOL.

No HD out here sells it, no farm stores, no lowes...just a smaller regional "We got everything" type store we have here in OR/WA/ID.

Thanks for the tip. I had no idea SIteOne sold it. I'll have to check and see if the one I go to is getting any of it in this season.

 

I feel fortunate that the regular price of Milorganite is $6 at my local Ace Hardware franchise and it will go on sale/rebate at Menards for less than that every year. I also live right near Milwaukee, so I have an advantage.

Is it comforting to know that you are putting your own poop back on your lawn? :lol:

And paying for the privilege. Ever consider eliminating the middleman? :roll:

 

I got it for $3.00 at Walmart in 2016. Then in 2017 I couldn't even find it for sale at Walmart. So I'm wondering what will happen this year.

$16 at our Ace stores in CT. Not only is it further from the source, but stores here probably also figure they can get a few dollars more due to the proximity to NYC and Boston. But I use the Ace coupons for it to knock the price down. In the Spring, about 25% of the floor at the store I usually buy from is devoted to fertilizer and seed. This stuff generates big business.

No Milo at Walmart here in CT in 2017, either. The year before, I got it for like $9 or so per bag there at that end of the year sale you're talking about.

 

$13 here. Used to apply every other week when my lawn was 4k sqft. I'm now over 30k, can't use it like I used to. Now just monthly on my front and side yards, 12k sqft.
