On one of the gardening/orcharding discussion groups I frequent, someone made a statement about Milorganite - which is essentially commercially-available dried municipal sewage sludge - that I thought was BS, but before I called 'em out on it, I thought I'd throw it out here:
"I only use it as a browse deterrent until i get fences up on new plantings.
I have insane deer pressure.
I think most of its sales is for Deer Feed Plots… which deters the deer until the food plot grows out… which the deer later eat…which the hunters later eat…"
I've never known anyone to use the stuff except for city gardeners, and even then, not on 'edibles', because of concerns over heavy metals and other crap folks pour/flush down the drain/toilet.
I've absolutely never known anyone who used it on a wildlife foodplot... Hell, I don't even know anyone who uses 'organic' fertilizer on foodplots - though some of y'all may have access to poultry litter... but am I wrong?
Anyone here use Milorganite in the manner this person suggested?
