About Milorganite Article:

Made in Milwaukee: Brewing up Milorganite - On a recent tour of the Jones Island plant, Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District agency services director Jeff Spence and public information manager Bill Graffin wanted to dispel that myth at the start. Despite what you've heard, Milorganite is not made out of human feces.

Singing the praises of Milorganite by Jeff Coghill - "Milorganite is great for a number of reasons. It is an organic by-product of a sustainable method for water purification that does not rely on chemical treatments. Further, it is a slow-release fertilizer. The granules of Milorganite are broken down slowly in the soil. It will not “burn” plants or give you a quick rush of growth soon to be followed by the absence of nutrients to feed your plants."

Organic Articles:

To be a truly "green" gardener, look beyond the label. Some ingredients that claim to be "natural" or "eco-friendly" are anything but. "Greenwashing in the garden" by Jeff Gillman 

"Organic-Based' Products Are Rarely Organic" by Paul Tukey "Biosolids — derived from human waste — have been the basis of Milorganite fertilizer for decades. This popular brand from the Milwaukee sewage treatment plant is used on lawns across America and many consider the product to be organic, although it would never clear OMRI or the NOP standards.  Having since personally visited the Milorganite plant, I now believe that company does as good a job as possible testing its product to make sure it is as free, as possible, from contaminants. I would now use Milorganite on my own lawn. I cannot say that, however, for all bio-solids products because I do not believe all companies and plants adhere to the strict Miloganite testing regimen."
