Milorganite is an all-natural nitrogen fertilizer processed in Milwaukee, WI. It is gentle on the lawn and will not burn it, even if you apply too much. Due to its gentle nature, milorganite is safe to use with other weed and feed fertilizers. Only use weed and feed fertilizer if you have a widespread weed problem in your lawn. Use spot liquid spray spot treatments if you only have a few problem weeds.
