Happy--

I do not have much to contribute here--but your concern about fertilizing made me think of a product HD carries.
It is in the lawn fertilizer aisle--and is called "Milorganite".
Milorganite is the by product of the Sanitary Water treatment plant and is a clean, non-odorous product.
The consistency is that of very small, black granules--non clumping.
Its numbers are--5-2-0. It comes in a 40lb. bag and costs only $12. 50 + or -.
It has no odor to us to speak of--maybe, initially, a touch of mustiness which disappears.

It is a much unappreciated product--as people do not know about it.
Compared to Scotts and Vigoro--it is a real bargain.

AND--since it is made from all the waste waters of the municipality--it may just have a lingering odor to the deer
that might repel them.
You could just throw handfuls down the hill--like sowing seed.

Here is a picture of the bag so you can find it.
