Most organic lawn fertilizers are similar in that they are primarily derived from only a handful of main ingredients. In this video I explain the most common ingredients used in organic lawn foods and why we typically don't apply the raw ingredients to the lawn directly. Instead we apply products that combine the ingredients into different mixtures that are packaged up specifically for lawn applications.

The most common organic lawn fertilizer used these days is probably Milorganite but there are lots of other options that are formulated differently but work just as good. Make sure to see this video I published not long ago on the problems of using Milorganite regularly in the lawn.

You can also see this post on my website where I list the best alternatives to Milorganite on the market today. Many of the alternatives I personally own and use on my own lawn.

For the foreseeable future I'll be applying both Milorganite and Jonathan Green Organic Lawn Food to my lawn to get a balanced mix of Nitrogen and Phosphorus. For Potassium I'll be using liquid aeration later in the year with an additional application of a Potassium Stress Blend fert.
