I thought Milorganite was made from sewer waste and not something you really wanted to use on edibles due to some of the things that get into waste water and your plants would take up that is toxic...

Default Re: What to add for soil mix

trying to find "best potting mix" whether potted or to add to soil
where my bananas are planted..???
sure like some thoughts from ya all?????
my potted mix is my own compost,coco coir,worm castings,perlite..
seems to have good drainage..plants seem happy..
ive been thinking of adding coco chips to my mix..it should even loosen
up the soil more..even better drainage..????
for outdoor plantings..i have done about the same..except perlite..
but this yr.. i bought 5 big bags and mixed it with my compost and coir
any thoughts?? sucess stories to tell???
thanks

Isn't that why the garden at the White House had to be redone? I read that the previous use of milorganite left the beds contaminated and the veggies had to be disposed of and soil redone.
