Milogranite Question

I wish I had an answer. I spread milo and have never thought about watering it in. That's just another reason I love it because that's one less thing I have to do :lol:

I think it takes numerous waterings to begin to break down the biosolids. So watering it in immediately will only very slightly speed up the uptake of the nutriuents to the plants. Better to just stick to a consistent watering schedule or apply before you plan to water anyway.
Milo does contain some water soluble Nitrogen, so watering it in would help activate any WSN content.
Note the percent WSN can vary depending on the Milo product and when you bought it. Here are two different bags I have in my garage:
@DJLCN gave me a bag of the standard (non greens grade) Milo this morning in exchange for some 120-grit lapping compound and some tools I loaned him! No crypto currency here, but select forms of Nitrogen fertilizer are perfectly acceptable. :lol:

Nope. You're all good. Let the rain take care of it from now on!Killmeh said:

It's very important to water it on extremely hot muggy days. Otherwise you will not benefit from the increased intensity of the unique aromas. You paid for that aroma, get your money's worth.

One latent effect of watering in could be simply washing the granules down into the soil profile. If you've got a dense and/or tall canopy, you might have some granules sitting on top of the grass instead of down in the canopy base. Will this have a significant effect on the overall results? I don't think so, just a thought!

Funny story, first time I put it out, the wife came home at dark hopped out her car and said "did you buy some cows?! what is that smell"Ridgerunner said:It's very important to water it on extremely hot muggy days.

told her its the smell of hopeful grass!
Did you mean how good is the smell?Darrell said:
It smells like roses. I wish it lasted forever!Darrell said:
Kidding. It doesn't smell like s**t really. It smells "musty" to me. Like a load of laundry you forgot to take out of the washing machine 4 days ago and you discover it. You're like "Whewww.......umm...yeahh....that's going to have to be rewashed a few times". It won't make you gag. But it's not something you won't notice.
My kids, when it's in the spreader, like to help me spread it by hand throughout the yard. That grosses my wife out, I love it :lol:

How long before you're supposed to see results from the Milorganite?
