Can I Use Milorganite in Summer?

Yes, Milorganite is one of the safest summer fertilizers because it's organic and cannot burn even in hot weather. Apply at 32 lbs per 2,500 sq ft during summer months. Unlike synthetic fertilizers, Milorganite releases nutrients based on soil microbial activity (which increases with warmth), making it ideal for summer application. Water after application for best results, but it won't burn even if you forget.
