An alternative is to rake back the mulch from the base of the plant, apply Milorganite, work it into the soil, then return the mulch. When can my dog return to the lawn after I apply Milorganite?

Milorganite can be used with confidence for all of your fertilizing needs, including lawns, trees, shrubs, flowers, and vegetables. Is Milorganite effective in clay soil? Milorganite works well in clay soils, because it contains 85% organic matter by weight. Organic matter improves soil drainage and aeration, moderates soil temperature, and provides pore space in the dense clay, all essential for optimum plant growth. Is Milorganite effective in sandy soil? Milorganite, which is 85% organic matter by weight, helps add organic matter to the soil.
