Milorganite has no potassium. And it has too much phosphorus. Scotts is the better option. Their Turfbuilder also contains some slow-release nitrogen--methylene urea type.

 

I'd go with the Scotts this time of year for the N, unless your lawn is needing something in particular.

But Milorganite is fine to use, I just prefer it early in the season.

 

Milo is human feces though right?

 

That is where it comes from yes.

 

from my understanding, yes

 

Milorganite is not actually human feces.
From their website: "It’s composed of heat-dried microbes that have digested the organic matter in wastewater"
So its the microbes that feed on the waste.
Then it is put in: "rotary kiln driers heated to 900–1200 ⁰F. The extreme heat kills pathogens"
One can say it is derived from human waste. But the final product is not human feces.

 

milo is better. use something like ringer lawn restore in the fall to add the potassium. right now is not the best time to fert in the heat of the summer in august. i would wait until september.

 

Ok ... can I use Biden to treat my yard for possible chinch bugs and mole crickets?

I think that's just all marketing terms for human feces. Smells like it too.

"extreme heat" to kill pathogens from human feces. lol

Milo also still contains a lot of crap from human waste such as pharmaceutical products, household and personal care products. Basically whatever people dump into the sewers.
