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

 

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:

Only from work. I live outside the city

 

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.

Where can I purchase poconite???

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.

Ahhh, I got ya. Will you be doing an overview of your rabbit hole, I hope?

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.

Can you please tell me where you find this for $10-$14 per bag. Cheapest online seller is $28. Would love to get it local of possible.

 

It's a local mom and pop. They are "word of mouth" and if a neighbor hadn't showed me, I would have never found them back down a dirt road. Great people though, they sell me gold label midnight KBG for $3.25/lb. Sorry for the tease but I'm afraid it wouldn't be worth your drive.

You would need to find it locally to get that price, I've seen it at one place that I bought fertilizer from several years ago. It's just one of those things that you would need to call around to local "professional" seed or landscape supply stores in your area.

 

Yeah, mine is not that cheap, but we are not close to the "source".

I guess I got to move closer to the source then... ... Good thing my property is only 3800 sq. Ft (front and sides)... The backyard is still a mess, no real grass back there. Need to have it graded and will seed this fall.

 

Yeah, mine is not that cheap, but we are not close to the "source".

They don't open until mid March, so I'll check on this years price in a couple of weeks.

Oh, no I was talking about Milwaukee.

 

My local True Value Hardware , Branneky Hardware ( a farm store pushing 200 years old) sells it every day for 9.95 for a 36 lb bag.

Here's a photo of my lawn in NJ. Everyone else has brown grass this time of year.

 

Stopped in my local supply house today to look around and see what they have this year, and it looks like their newest pallet of Greens Grade Milorganite is still 6-2-0, but only contains 2.5% Fe. :crying:
