Bca Anytime

Post by bombri » June 17th, 2021, 8:03 pm

I see this stuff at fleet farm, looks nearly identical in nutrient analysis to Milorganite if not better. $6 per bag instead of $10 for Milorganite.

Anyone used it? Opinions?

I haven't used it, but if you do, it's very comparable to Milo's 6-4-0. Assuming that the bag is at least (6/5)*(6/10)*32= 23 pounds at that price, it's exactly comparable to Milo. If larger, it's a better deal per pound of nitrogen.

I can't read the one word in the "Plant nutrients derived from ....." Of course. :-)

P levels are high as compared to N (just like Milo). So if you have a higher level of phosphorus, limit use to once a year. Otherwise, with low P levels, have at it. Hurl the stuff around like popcorn at a Christmas tree trimming party.

I see it's normally 7.99 but is in sale for $5.99.

I ALMOST bought 50 bags of this last night lol. But I'm still waiting for my soil test so I figured I'd hold off. I also don't need any fertilizer for a few months. But really good find, oddly you can't find it under "lawn fertilizer" you have to search for it by name on their website.

Morph - Milo is 32lb and BCA is 36. I bought 20 bags last night and may go back and pick up another 20 sometime soon "while supplies last"

It'll be a Christmas tree trimming party over here for a while...

Sounds good! Even if you end up having high levels of P, 20 bags on a lawn your size isn't a problem. Heck, 50 wouldn't be. Even at 10K (my size), that's about ten apps, or 3 years maximum, assuming you don't go a bit heavy (which I always do).

If you have the storage space, I say go for it.

Oh I have the storage space, but it's about whether my wife can stand the smell on the garage... It's pretty bad

It fades pretty fast. Two weeks and it's gone, really.

I just discovered this stuff today. Found this post after doing a search. Fleet Farm near me just sold-out of Milo before I got there. So I picked up this BCA All Natural Anytime Fertilizer.
Anyone know where its made?

https://www.fleetfarm.com/detail/bca-pr ... 366848?bc=

It says Made in the USA. BCA Products is based in Sleepy Eye, Minnesota.

The company is part of the Central Region Cooperative, which you can read about here: https://www.centralregioncoop.com/about-us

As to how I know this, part of my job is document research, so corporate research isn't too different. I just did five minutes of digging online. This, at least, did not involve dusty files, or finding Brandon because nobody updated the information in the documentation system.
