Getting ready for my monthy application of Miloranite but can't seem to locate it anywhere. I hit all the usual places I shop - but box stors - nothing. One of the managers said they have had a hard time getting it this year. Will need to start looking at the smaller stores. I also understand there is a shortage of BSF in Quincy. Does anyone know what is going on? If I can't find Milo are there any recommended alternatives?
Is there a Milorangite shortage???

Not sure if it's a shortage or just a "run" on product because of Milorganite's suggested schedule. But I saw this at my local HD tonight.
I see the Lesco stuff on the left. I wish my local HD stocked Lesco products. Almost entirely Scott's.beastcivic said:Not sure if it's a shortage or just a "run" on product because of Milorganite's suggested schedule. But I saw this at my local HD tonight.

They have very limited Lesco products, pretty sure that's the only Fert, they have one pre-e, and maybe something else. Mostly Scott's in the whole aisle.pennstater2005 said:

Huh, the Home Depot where I bought mine on May 10th had lots of it and is showing zero stock online now.
I had the same problem around here in July last year and found a few bags in Rhode Island near where we were visiting on the 4th of July. I've also found it at the small True Value hardware store one town over in the Fall when supplies are short. If the Bay State fertilizer was back in stock, I would consider buying a bunch myself. I should email Carl and see if they have any bags in stock yet.

Alpine, seeing your in the Boston area,why not give Carl a call at Bay State fertilizer in Quincy..Web site says the fert. will be back in stock on May 14.I would call ahead.(617)773-4293. At $3.50 a bag it's hard to beat.No cash or cards.Takes only checks!!Grass Daddy has a great you tube vid. on a trip he made there a while back.Good Luck!!
I'm not that far from Quincy - just that work gets in the way 
. Not sure if they're open Saturday. It's definitely worth a call and certainly can't beat the price. Would like to get some before this weekend to take advantage of rains coming in from Alberto.

Fred Meyer's down here in Oregon sells it for $16 a bag(no tax's), never on sale but always in stock. Probably the same up there in Spokane.Kalous86 said:
Thats when you go to Lowe's and price match when fleet farm has it on sale for 6 bucks. Then get it for 5.70 a bag with their 5% discount. That certainly gets the manager worked up in a hurry! Getting 10 bags for 57 bucks vs over 125! Haha. I just wish I didn't need 18 bags for one app on my new property.
Finally located a couple of bags of Milo for my monthly application. Had to call around a bit and found some at a local hardware store - same price as the big box stores 12.99. In my area there is a limited number of outlets to get this stuff - big box stores or a local Ace / True Value. Need some more competition.
