Re: MILO study - not safe
Not sure how you came to a conclusion that "Milo Study - Not Safe" makes your headline - the article does not mention anything about Milorganite, it is NOT a study of Milorganite, etc. Class B Biosolids are completely different from consumer products like Milorganite, Bay State, OceanGrow, etc -- these products are Class A product and as such "biosolids are designated as Class A Biosolids. This allows the use of these biosolids to fertilize any crop, including agriculture crops, turf, horticulture and food crops. No special soil incorporation or other restrictions apply to the use of Class A biosolids.".
Please explain how those gaps lead to the conclusions you're headlining....

Milorganite, Bay State and OceanGro all meet the "EQ" (highest "exceptional quality") standards rating for Class A.

Huh. No kidding.
I was going to ask you guys what all those funky colors and odd looking things were in my last batch of BayState I spread around.
Half-kidding.

That’s pretty much what the Amish farmers in Pa do. The smell is awful.HoosierLawnGnome wrote: ↑August 13th, 2019, 5:06 pmYou mean you all dont just shovel raw sewage back from the septic onto the lawn?

Re: MILO study - not safe
This is a video showing Amish farmers spreading liquid manure. It’s pretty common and the smell travels quite well.

Re: MILO study - not safe
Manure products are very common in commercial agriculture - not just with the Amish. Pig and Poultry are what is typically used. If anyone is interested in a non horse powered application video...
