Can Milorganite be used in a flower bed that is used as edging around
a vegetable garden? I understand that it may work as a deer
deterrent but that it should not be used in the vegetable garden bed
itself. Are the heavy metals or other undesirable Milorganite
components very mobile in the soil? Does anyone know whether this
is a safe application? Would depressing the flower bed or raising the
vegetable garden bed help? What about edging between the flower
garden and the vegetables? I know that fencing and other deer
repellents are options as well.
