grass+Milorganite+rain=green
I use it at the bag rate twice a year on turf to make it green +2.
It works better with rain and I'm careful about tracking it in the house.
It does have an odor so I use the whole bag.
NOTE
I'm trying to educate myself on nitrogen loss from different sources of N by different methods of application + environmental conditions.
If someone could comment on nitrogen loss from baked poop pellets, as in best way to apply defined by lowest loss, and worst way as defined by highest loss.
or a link THANKS !!
back to bananas
My real bananas are in the ground. Pots are for sissies or things for sale.
A mature plant in the ground I put 1lb per bag of leaves at least 5 bags per plant. Spread the leaves 3 inch thick, water, spread milorganite, water.
One gallon of urine poured on top will supercharge this deal.
I suspect people OUTSIDE the subtropics would benefit from increases in soil temp associated with hot composting over the root zone of their plants to gain growth period.
This will produce a bit of smell, and a bit of heat, and 2 or 3 real big leaves.
Be ready to give it some real fertilizer again in 3 weeks.
Please do not put 5lbs Miloragnite and a gallon of urine in your potted plant.
