hello everyone,
I plan to over seed my lawn (Fescue) this fall and would like to know if I can put down milorganite after using starter fertilizer.

Are you asking if they are ok to put down together the same time? Or after a certain time has passed?

 

[RET]

At the same time. Is there anything I should be concerned about.

 

[ericgautier]

IMO I would use one or the other, not both. You want to give your overseed a chance to establish before the existing turf recovers and dropping both will ensure a faster recovery time.

yeah .. what Eric said. Too much fert boost at once on baby seedlings.

OK,then one fert it is. Thanks.

This was a question I had also. Could one use the starter then use the Milo for the Thanksgiving Feed through the winter on the new growth?

You need warm soil for the microbes to be active when using Milorganite. I doubt the soil is warm in TN in late fall. Milorganite has a good supply of phosphorus, which could suffice for seeding.

Good point . Thanks
