RE: [AZH] Re: Organic Fertilizers

Be concerned about heavy metals in Milorganite as well. It was a problem at one time, I don't know if it still is.

Subject: [AZH] Re: Organic Fertilizers

I was re-reading old threads just now because of a conversation I had
today with a fertilizer dealer.  I have used Milorganite in the past
and not experienced any problems. However the dealer said, "Oh! I'd
be worried about bacteria [since its manufactured from waste water]
harming your animals.  Has anyone else out there ever heard of such a
thing? 

I called the Milogranite customer service number -which is answered
by anyone with a technical background and they couldn't confirm or
deny the acustion. I'm expecting a call back.
