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.

I will have to check my local Ace Hardware to see if I can find it cheaper than Lowe's

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.

Lesco 21-4-11 is a poly/sulphur coated urea that's about 90% slow release. I believe it also has some iron, so it should behave similar to Milorganite. The cost per pound of slow N is ~$2.5 vs Milorganite at ~$10

It looks like you want PocoNite: http://www.sumtersc.gov/wastewater-plant

All Milo is is sewage sludge converted into fertilizer. Looks like South Carolina has the same program only it's called PocoNite.

I have it in Massachusetts. It is called Bay State Fertilizer here. Our stuff is stupid cheap. Something like $3.50 for a big ol' bag of it (40 pounds maybe?).

They are only about 2- 2.5 hours away from me. If I used Milorganite I would consider making a run to pick up a truck load :thumbup:

Yep. It's a quick 45 minutes for me.

There were a couple of guys saying that they pay a lot for the Milo. I can't even IMAGINE what the retailers are getting for name-brand stuff!

Milo is about the best thing you can do for your lawn and seems to be the least expensive option.

No milo at Walmart for me but I found the big bag of Scotty's 32-0-3 for $5 in the fall. I don't plan on using it till early fall but I couldn't pass up the deal

Would you not use milorganite, or something like it, if it was sub 5 bucks a bag?

I may have in the past but now I'm going down a different rabbit hole and going all liquid fertilizer this year.

Yes, once I start it and seeing what kind of results I get

I've been using the Greens Grade Milorganite. It comes in a 50lb bag, has a smaller SGN, and works out to be a little cheaper than the 36lb bags around here.

+1 :thumbup:
I've never used anything else. $10-14/bag
Best part is that it is always 4% iron.
