I would avoid using it on anything that you plan on consuming. It's made from human poop-fed microbes.

Yeah I knew that, but that doesn't matter unless you get grossed out by it.

On top of the ground it is going to stink for the first few days.Right?!
I won't use fish emulsion and stuff indoors because of the smell.
I have an indoor worm bin with no flies and no smell. The trick is burying the food scraps, I would think if the milorganite were in the soil and not sitting on top of it the smell shouldn't be an issue.
I might just have to try it in a single pot and see how it does.

Add plenty of carbon to keep the smell down. What does human manure add that farmyard manure, guano and ewc doesn’t add? Does it really worth it?

That's what I was thinking, only opposite. I've got bags of milo around.
It was just a thought, I'll try it on a plant and see.

By all means try for yourself. I know what ewc, guano and manure adds. But humans are disgusting creatures that eat everything and everything processed too.
