Everything I’ve read says it’s good to go to apply it this time of year. Just wanted to check and see if anyone he used it in the LA summer heat? Seems to be safe but I don’t want to end up with a brown lawn

Its dried up sewage from Milwaukee, so I’m sure it can be applied any time without problem.

Why not just use Rainbow 15-5-10 before a rain or water really well?

$12/50lb is cheap and if applied properly this time of year you're not going to hurt your lawn.

Look that has been on the market for decades. It is processed sewage. The nutrient level is so low you could never really burn your grass. It adds, perhaps, some micro nutrients.

Just use the commercial grade fertilizers like 13-13-13 or 16-4-8 or 15-5-10. You can send your soil to LSU for testing and then use the various of readily available blends to get what you need. It takes a little math skills to apply to the soil test results and you may put a little too much one nutrient or a little too little of another but your lawn will look great and you will spend a lot less than you would with those fence name brand fertilizers.

It isn’t as good as other common fertilizers. I assumed people put it out to deter deer from browsing in gardens.
