What will Milorganite do for my lawn?
Milorganite is composed of 85% organic matter, which nourishes the plant and feeds the soil microbes. This improves the soil’s ability to grow grass and other plants. Milorganite is ideal for sandy soils, because it adds organic matter and doesn’t leach, which means the water-soluble nutrients aren’t washed away.
Will Milorganite hurt new grass?
Regular fertilization with Milorganite, a slow release fertilizer, can improve the health and vigor of new, existing and stressed lawns. The slow-release nitrogen won’t harm stressed lawns, young seedlings or newly laid sod.
