Hazelcrestmikeb said:Fyi, it appears that Milorganite is being phased out as was discussed in another daylily forum. I used Osmocote this past spring with a few other concoction mixed in.


Not that I can get Milorganite here in Canada but are they sure it is being phased out in the USA? There has been concern expressed that it may contribute PFAS to the environment and PFAS are/were being phased out by industry, and there is apparently a shortage of Milorganite due to demand exceeding supply. Might someone have speculated based on that?
