This Is The Right Way To Apply Milorganite // Switching To The Dark Side 

Milorganite Plant Tour - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-X1Tjp6WiGsg.html

I remember stocking up with my dozen bags of Milorganite each year and it only costing $7 a bag. Those were the good old days.

Sold out crowd right here! The OGs of the channel. 👇

Thank you for all you do to make our neighborhoods beautiful and the neighbors curious!!

I was around!! Was introduced to D.I.Y. lawncare with Scotts, and Milorganite around 2015-16 because of you!! Thank you Sir!!

I always had 5 or 6 bags in the garage for my 2600 sq ft lawn. $8 back then, ace hardware always had it. You're the one that got me into lawn care, thank you Allyn!

Allyn, been around since the beginning of the channel. Love it. Live it. Smells like success

Happy Easter Allyn!!

OG Milorganiter and Subscriberter here from the Chicagoland days! Hope you’re well, brother! It has been a minute! You got so many people to *throw er down* in ‘17 | ‘18 | ‘19 the price went from $9 a bag to over $20 in Chicago! Thankfully I hoarded it early and dominated my neighbors! 😜

Still stocked up on milorganite! Darkest yard in the neighborhood! Thanks LCN!

Been watching since the house up north. Been watching Cleet since the C7 exhaust whistles. The day LCN announced that collab your boy was pumped!

Good seeing a video of yours again Alan

Curious, when you circled the 2500 sq ft, application rate on the bag what does the "FL 5,200 sq ft" mean under what you circled?

You’re amazing thank you, just a few treatments & my neighbors are OMG WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!! First time ever in 29 yrs we’re happy w our HOA lawn 😊 ❤sharing the program/app w them

Nostalgia bro!!!!! Happy Easter brother 😎

You helped me make my first nice lawn many years ago. Man i feel like it was less expensive back then.

“Other” lawn channels say this stuff is no good. PFAS, Pharmaceuticals and heavy metals. But it makes my lawn look so nice.

I worked in the supply chain department of a hardware retail chain when this was selling out. My team's job was to keep us in stock and we had many conversations with MMSD during this time. To understand why it was selling so well, I started searching online and it became my first introduction to both Milorganite and Allyn. While those days were challenging and frustrating, today I am more educated in lawn care as a result. I've been following the Lawn Car Nut and Yard Mastery cool season plans ever since. 😊

Love the Stirling! Purchased mine a few years ago, and it lays down some amazing stripes on my KBG. I always have someone in the neighborhood staring at it or asking about it lol.

Still my go to product I've gotten down to only Spring and late fall applications I go pretty heavy on the late fall drop. My local Ace still has spring deals for $9-$10 a bag so it's not as "rare" as it used to be. Allyn, I think you created the fury / buzz over Milo all by yourself! 🙂 Thanks again for guiding me towards a great lawn. When I retired I took over lawn maintenance and with your guidance my lawn is the envy of my neighbors. When i see my local Ace puts it on sale half my neighbors are filling baskets and trucks with it! Once again sir ....Thank you

You turned me on to Milo back then and I've been hooked on LCN since then. Chicago area prices haven't come down since... I miss $9/bag. Which is why I've converted to almost 100% Yard Mastery fert. Thanks as always for all you do for us Allyn! For those of you intimidated... Don't be. Do it once or twice and you'll get it no problem.

Miss this old school music!

I was there, Allyn. I was there. And it changed my life.

I was there with you in Milorgdrought!! But you got me turned on to GUS BOCK…on sale and in stock Still going to Gus today I’m a Lowell Indiana guy and you and Jake get me through the LONG LAWN days!! Hope you still come around to visit Jake If you do a meet/greet this year please let me know! Love to meet ya Thank you for all the INFO

I was around since before your move. I still do the Milo routine on my lawn because it STINKIN works!

Bringing back Milo and the old school music took me back many years bro! I was a Milo stockpiler during the shortage years… I blamed you solely for the increase in sales and resulting shortage of supply 😂

I LOVE the smell of Milo. I need to put tons more down on my little lawn. :)

Milo hunt of 2018…fun times. My wife hates the “smell” of success. lol Great Vids! Look forward to them every week!

Yup... I was around when I couldn't find any. If I'm not mistaken they raised their prices after that year. Used to be $12 I think, now its $23 per bag in CT. Nuts. I don't use it anymore because of price and because my soil test shows I need more Potassium and less Phosphorus.

Classic LNC! Pure success 😎 New proud owner of a YM BP sprayer here 🙌🏼 that thing is a UNIT as Cleetus would say! 😂 got the whole cul-de-sac jealous now baby 🤘🏼🇺🇸 down here in S. FL over by’der

I was around and remember that well, I’ve switched to a different fertilizer since but it served well! Great video Allyn !!

I was around for the great Milo shortage. I had a friend who found it 40+ miles away from where I live and we bought a bunch of it and made a road trip to get it.

It’s nice seeing this. Feels old school LCN for sure.

This video reminds me of the OG LCN videos! Show us how to use the stuff we find in the big box stores. And, yes I stockpiled some of the Milo back when it was cheap!

I actually use that in my food plots in south east Ohio to get them established the smell keeps the deer out of them for a minute until they get going. Plus it’s awesome.

Great video and thankyou for taking the time to explain things in laymans terms🔥🇺🇲💯✌️🔥

Breaking the Law! Know your laws in FL!

5:18 ....thick and crunchy ... Love that sound St. Agus is my favorite

OG sold out member here. I had my whole neighborhood using it 😂

Any of you early day viewers remember that kick ass music Alan used when he went to Miami? He did the shot in Indiana and cut to him on a hotel balcony in Miami, hot cars, etc! I STILL blast that tune to test the surround sound lol (If you remember that one I’d love to hear it)

I was around for the 2018 mess. I went to a local landscape supply and nursery and got the pro stuff with the smaller prills and stocked up 50lb bags got like 8 of them

2018 was exactly when I got into lawn care and became a lawn care nut. We got our house in Tampa 2017 and all I did was water and cut, didn't know anything. February 2018 came and my lawn went full dormant as it was watered enough and hadn't been fertilized. I found this channel, followed his tips, and the lawn bounced back very nicely. Currently my "nuttiness" has taken a break since I have a toddler and we have separate companies doing the lawn/landscaping care and treatments. But I'll always be a lawn care nut and I still watch every video. 😊

I use this method when putting down fertilizer, measuring the square feet and calculating how many pounds I will need. It definitely works as I have the greenest, thickest grass in mid April (Northeast) in my neighborhood. All my neighbors ask me how I do it. I tell them you have to measure your yard if you want to make sure your getting enough fertilizer down. Also, instead of using a scale for measuring the fertilizer, I found it's faster to just convert it to ounces and use a big juice pitcher (Amazon) with the ounces labeled on the side. You pour it in the pitcher and your done instead of remeasuring several times with the scale. Milogranite is also an awesome product. You never have to worry about burning your grass and it provides a deep rich green color.

I may or may not still have 4-5 bags from when I bought it before doing a soil test. Back when it was $11 a bag

I remember those days. I have a small lawn and I still buy my seasons worth of bags in March (I live in MN) just to make sure I have enough for the year. The big box employees always look at me crazy because most of the time there’s still snow on the ground haha

I threw down some Sunniland organic this weekend in Miami. If LCN did a milo app the same weekend, I must be doing something right!

I mainly use it to keep deer away from ornamental plants. A Solo cup sprinkled around an area works for about two weeks in my area, depending on rain.

Your yard and the Freedom Factory are looking fabulous. I am hopeful Cleetus doesn’t “burn” in his own stripes. BTW, why does it say FL 5200 sq ft on the bottom of the Milo bag?

Oh those were the days...the stuff works, and you really couldn't overdo it. I also remember listening to Boogaloo Assassins background music as you were throwing it down!

At the beginning of the video, you said the whole bags analysis contains 6%N. Your calculations didn't consider the 32lbs, and it didn't look like you considered the tare weight of the bucket. Good content. Thanks

I was around for that 2018 struggle

I live in northern Louisiana where the phosphorous levels are exceedingly high already so I don't apply Milo anymore. I did use it a few seasons when my sod was new and it did perk it up. If Milo made a zero-phosphorous version for southern lawns I'd give it a full dose at least once annually.

When it was $6-$7 a bag, I used it during my hottest summer months…good stuff. 2020 came and like everything else it became stupid expensive. I think it hovers around $25 for a #32 bag.

Man the FF is looking GOOD! Just in time for the Freedom 500. You should see if you can get a Yard Mastery sign out there.

Shopped every store to get enough to smell the success in my lawn during the Milo-rush of 18-19

I remember, but was already stocked up so avoided the price hikes here in Indiana.

Great math review.

I remember buying a season's worth and driving an hour away because it was sold out in a couple of days. I had to make sure I had enough for the season

I remember the shortage but I didn’t know about LCN back then. Dark days indeed!

He is Risen indeed 👍

Thanks for all the helpful and intellectual info, greatly appreciated! One question, why use the edge guard at property line and not share the wealth?! Especially in the case of herbicide.. Wouldn’t you be decreasing probability of weeds coming across by backing out that treated area further?

Seeing that Earthway drum in the garage but the Scott's out in the driveway is like keeping the '57 Chevy in the garage and taking the '94 Camry out for a spin 🤣

You didnt read the bag correctly, its 5200 sq ft in Florida which if I'm not mistaken is where you live. You've applied double what you were meant to.

Hope you’re going to get a review out on the EGO T6!

Have 3 bags of LCN product in my garage... walking into a local Ace Hardware -- there stood a pile of Milo. Couldn't help myself. Bought enough for an app. Sometimes you just gotta go with Milo!!

I'm definitely going to get the grub X and peel off the moss in front of the house. Do I really need to do this ? I'm planning on getting some Scott grass seed. 6:23

Dang, checking in to see if you were fined for this video. The legality of applying phosphorus to a lawn when it is not deficient in your county. Plus the bag notes 2500 sq ft of coverage but for Florida 5200 sq ft.

I just open up the spreader all the way!

I have that spreader, as long as it’s not the first, last, or an app in mid summer I just open the spreader as much as possible and thrower down the milo!!!!!

LCN--been watching you since '20. I've been throwing down Milo ever since

Yup, I remember the days of M shortage. My neighbor and I bought a pallet from the local hardware store...lol. Don't use it anymore these days.

I have issues with that exact spreader, as do many people based on Home Depot reviews too. The throw from the impeller throw hits the wheels (the ferts get stuck in the hollow cavity inside the wheels) and you end up with stripes in the lawn :( I just go with a hand spreaders now, luckily my yard is only 6000 sq.ft.

I put some down yesterday! You commented on my Bahiagrass pic.

I was a 10lbs every month guy. Grass looked great! That is until i started testing the soil and saw my calcium was way too high. Milo was something like 20% calcium.

Yes sir I experienced the milorganite shortage 😮

I prefer Milo since it has lower N and I can fill the hopper more. I find it easier to apply more evenly and it allows me to pay more attention to my passes as opposed to watching the product dwindle down.

Sta-Green has an excellent natural fertilizer with a 16-0-10 analysis, that’s what my soil wanted after high phosphorus numbers from years of Milorganite use.

I was around back in 2018 when I bought it for $7 a bag

Wow and an Allett! Fancy Schmancy!

I used to hoard Milo. Using Sta green now. Has humic acid.

Hi Allyn, I do remember when Milo was sold out. I was fortunate and go the last 5 bags at my home center. I have a question I purchased a Earthway 2600a + seeing as you recommended so highly. Do you have a setting for that spreader, or should I use the calibration as you recommended for the Scotts? Thanks, I have watched you since you were in Indiana.

I remember them days when it was sold out I had to get 5 bags I’m down the my finally one

I fought the Milorganite wars of 2018-2019. I was awarded the "Smells Like Success " medal.😂

I have the best lawn in the hood because of you! Thanks!!

Lawn tech here. At a seminar this past winter, they talked about this p Miloganite containing PFAS. Both fertilizer company representatives stated that most states are moving away from using this product. Stock up while you can.

I'm old enough to remember when it was "organic" 😉 and before the NPK was changed.

I love how you’ve gone back to the old school videos!!! And I do remember the ‘18-19 Milo shortage. Tragic! Thanks for the great content!

I have a Sta green spreader what setting should I put it on? Thanks.

Can you talk about mulching, why or why not because you used that reel mower?

Are you guys on water restrictions. Pinellas county...we get reclaimed water on Saturdays.

The fert gets dispensed out of the impeller INTO the hollow Scott's wheel well, and then it falls out of the wheel as you walk in an even, over-ferted line - and produces lines in your fertilized lawn. You've been told. Scott's is a publicly traded company worth $4.08B - and apparently they cannot provide a closed plastic wheel in their low-end $90 spreader. I remember the Milo problem well - back when I paid $40 for my Scott's spreader.

Remember FL is 5200 sqft. Not 2500 sqft for your bag rate if your soil test is deficient in P. You have said in the past on video's?? Am i not correct in mentioning this??

Thanks for the educative videos - always a pleasure to watch. Are we ignoring the FL application rate of 6.4 ? why does it says 5000sqft for FL and 2500 for other states? What would you recommend?

I also like to use organic early spring, late fall. I'm thinking of switching from Milo or Sunniland organic to using YM Soil Fit. It has more N, no P, and some K...8 0 3. What do you think?

Can you make a video showing us how to adjust the spreader?

Have you ever spent time in the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton area? We also like to say "Couple Two Tree" like we hear at 2:02 in the video

Wow… I’ve *never* weighed or calculated my fertilizer, ever. It’s not that exact, just estimate, it’s fertilizer! lol I’ve always spread more than the bag rate & have the greenest, healthiest lawn in my neighborhood. I just make sure to never stop walking without closing the chute first & heavily water in afterwards. It’s like a carpet❣️ ⛳️ I applaud your effort though. 😁

did you include the bucket weight on the 12.8? also i have heard diesel exhaust fluid is the purest nitrogen 15-0-0 DEF, and that its a cheap affordable way to nitrogen fertilize your yard, is this true?

I was around, but I have always bought it in the off-season, so it didn't affect me.😆

comes from WI. been using it for over a decade. Wish it was still like $5 a bag!
