With shipping, this comes out to $40/bag. Not worth it.

 

I use Menard's Natural Lawn Fertilizer. It is 4-3-0. Also has 3.4% calcium, 1% Sulfar and 1.5% Iron. Cost is $7.99 whenever their 11% deal is going on.

Menard's fertilizers and pre/post granular herbicides may not be the very best quality available but their prices are hard to beat, especially their Forever Green line.

Yes I saw that one. I may try a few bags. Milorganite is $9.99 in Wisconsin. However I might try that one.

 

Ordered two 50# bags of milo from my local spot yesterday and they said they've been on back order for weeks. Is this a nationwide thing? Or are people just looking for alternatives?

 

I had HomeDepot price match Menards for Milorganite at $8.88 per bag last week for enough to do a spoon feeding .25lbs/1,000 every two weeks. The Menards entire line of fertilizer is by far the best deal for pounds on the ground possible. I love how you put a higher poundage also which makes it easier to spread just like Milorganite.

 

Coop Poop (2-4-3) is $18/40# bag with free store pickup if not in stock. I grabbed the last 9 bags that Fleet Farm had on clearance last spring for $5/bag. Bring a trailer for pickup, the smell of success is far stronger with this one than either Milorganite or Carbon X.

For anyone near Wisconsin, Stein Gardens often has Milorganite 36# bags on sale 6 bags for $30 at Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day weeks.

Wow great info uts! Thanks for that info. I will be sure to put every one of those ferts in yard at the same time...LOL!

Yes last year is when you could score bag of Milo for $10/bag. Now the prices have increased. Although Menards in WI has their priced at $10/bag

 

The problem with biosolids is there's just so much waste

Waste as in human feces, etc...? Most of the waste has been burned and absorbed through a granular process. If you use compost in your yard best believe that is considered waste. Look at it like this, if you use milo or any biosolid as your main fertilizer then it may create balance issues within your yard. I have used a combination of Purely Organic/plant based cornmeal with Milo as there have been no issues. I would use only Milo around early spring and late summer. That is why I want to find an alternative to Milo in the early summer and fall.

:lol: Ha! Nice work.

 

Milorganite was $10 last year, now $17. Doubtful I'll use any this year at that price.

 

I did try this last year during the summer. Scotts bought out the company. I liked it for mostly being not quick release compared to Milo.

 

Clarus Choice has the 5-4-0 under 20.00 a bag for 50lbs.. Southern Seeds in NC keeps it in stock

 

That's awesome. Great find.

Here is one from Lesco: https://www.siteone.com/en/510028-lesco-organicorganic-base-fertilizer-15-3-7-30-polyplus-50-b/p/338213

Analysis: https://www.siteone.com/pdf/sdsPDF?skuId=338213&resourceId=16378

I am thinking of trying Lesco since I worked with Carbon Pro-G. This looks promising. It also has 2.5% iron as well!

What is the best organic alternative over biosolid?

 

Check out the Pro Grade from Milo for $20.79. This is cheaper than the consumer grade:

Clarus Screaming Green is a good one.
It's at site one and I can get it for $35 for 50lbs and can do 12k. It's a 16-2-3 with 1% iron.
Goes a lot further than milorganite
