Folks, I started using milorganite years ago because everything in my garden 
was yellow, lack of iron.  This stuff really greens everything up.  My 
husband does have a degree in chemistry and he says that it is a big broo ha 
for nothing, just taking his word for it.  We do have a sophisticated water 
filter on our drinking water and we do not fertilize the yard, just the hosta 
patch and the trees.  When you consider that we live on property that was 
used for farm land for years and now we have every lawn company in the 
country dumping stuff on everyone's yard in the neighborhood we could say 
that for the little bit that we put on the hosta garden that we are gagging 
at a gnat and swallowing a fly.  N.
