* 2 passes - go over the same area twice
Regular feedings: 2,500 sq. ft. per 36 lb. bag
New lawns: 1,250 sq. ft. per 36 lb. bag
Conversion: 3 cups Milorganite = 1 pound
Milorganite can be stored indefinitely in a dry place.
Spreader Calibration:
If your spreader model is not listed here, please follow these instructions to ensure Milorganite is applied at the proper rate. As always, you have the peace of mind that comes with knowing that Milorganite won't burn.
- Set your spreader so that the opening(s) in the bottom are 3/4 open when engaged.
- Put eight pounds, of Milorganite into your spreader.
- Begin fertilizing your lawn, starting along an edge, and continue until the spreader is empty. Leave the spreader where it was when it ran out of Milorganite. Make sure you overlap patterns when using a rotary spreader.
- Measure the area of lawn you fertilized. You should have covered about 500 square feet (20 ' x 25 ', 10 ' x 50 ', etc.). If so, skip steps 5 and 6 and continue fertilizing your lawn. If not, go to step 5 or 6.
- If you covered much more than 500 square feet, increase the size of the opening(s) in the bottom of the spreader and repeat steps 2-4 on an unfertilized lawn area.
- If you covered much less than 500 square feet, decrease the size of the opening(s) in the bottom of the spreader and repeat steps 2-4 on an unfertilized lawn area.
