Not sure why I didn't check this place sooner but a local small nursery in my area actually had Milorganite! It is the old N-P-K formula but I didn't care. I got to talking to the head guy there and when I told him about the nation wide shortages he was surprised. He told me he had another whole pallet in the back... just a heads up to those in search- maybe check smaller nurseries in your area?
Finally found some Milorganite

Found some at Lowe's yesterday at the normal price. It looked like the new formulation, but I was in a hurry and didn't examine.
6.50 a bag here in michigan at a big, well known greenhouse
A local seed company carries it all year ...normal price is 8.99 per bag, or 7.99 per bag if you buy 3 or more bags.
no shortage here at all....i bought 10 bags this past weekend, and they had pallets left

Well I'm contributing to the shortage now, I just got the last three bags from an Ace Hardware today for $16.99 a bag. My closest Home Depot and Lowe's are sold out; price was around $13 a bag when they had it.
Those three bags will last me through my August application (one bag a month). Last year I did a Sept app but I probably don't need to.

$17 a bag :shock:

My local Lowes was showing 40+ bags in stock this morning, so I stopped by after dinner. They had 7 bags left of the new 6-4-0 formula, and two of them were ripped with half of their contents spilled all over the ground. I obviously bought the 5 good ones and was talking to an employee who said that entire pallets come in and are gone the same day. He had no idea how widespread the shortage was, but I was glad that I found enough to cover my next app.

Honestly, I'm surprised by how widespread its use is.massgrass said:

I found some at a local feed store today for 12.99 a bag. That's actually about $1 cheaper than Lowe's and I didn't have to drive 45 minutes.
