I have to back up Gita's exuberance about Milorganite. The first time I ever had an actual "Lawn" (as opposed to "front yard), what did I use as fertilizer? You guessed it; Milorganite. Used it early Spring, then got bored one day so spread it again in late July! (yes, you can do that with Milorganite; spread it in 100+ temps in glaring sun, and not have to water it in, it WILL NOT burn).

I have known for years that it can be a great deer deterrent, but I have no deer issues where I live, so I never thought of using it against squirrels. Great tip!! I think I still have 1/2 a bag downstairs, I will try that, thank you!
