Yep, it stinks. I get it, this is not for everyone. It is supposed to be a little safer for the kids/dog since it does not have 2, 4-D. So that is why I am on the watch for a deal.

A little safer than what. Most fertilizer doesn't have 2,4-D, unless you willingly buy "weed and feed" which, as the name implies, has added weed killer/2,4-D. Otherwise, there's no 2,4-D in any fertilizer.

Safer than what I used to use... something with 2, 4-D... doesn't matter. If someone is looking for this product it is a great price.

I guess, if you don't mind storing it over winter in your garage. Milorganite depends on fungus and bacteria to break it down and release the nutrients over time , so putting this down before winter would be ill advised, because bacteria and fungus slow down big time when it's cold.

Here is the schedule... one more treatment this year. Have a great day!

Yeah, they call it "dormant feeding" for a reason. Put it down and hope the grass sees some of that nutrient in 5 months when it breaks dormancy. Silly.
Don't get me wrong, milorganite has its place, but this ain't it. This is the time to hit cool season grasses with water soluble nitrogen (urea or ammonium sulfate) to help it recover from summer, as well as build up those carbohydrate reserves for next spring.

Do you have any recommendations for water soluble nitrogen fertilizers to put down for a NJ winter? TIA
We actually put the Sunday Fall Fortify down last week. If this in line with what you were referring to? Seems like it given the ingredients. Would a second dosage be necessary before winter?

That looks fine, uncoated urea and/or ammoniacal nitrogen is what you're looking for. About 1 pound N per thousand should go down when the grass stops growing as final winterizer for the year. So that's going to depend on your weather, if it's a mild fall the growing season may extend. Otherwise, keep applying half pound N per thousand sq ft every 2 weeks while the grass is actively growing, fall is prime feeding time for cool season grasses. You're aiming for 3-4 lbs N per thousand this fall for a high quality lawn.
I'll throw this in in case you don't know, the first number in the N-P-K numbers listed on the bag is the percentage nitrogen of the product being applied. The product you linked is 22-0-0 which means it contains 22% nitrogen. Thus, you'd need to apply about 5 pounds of that product per thousand sq ft to get 1 lb of nitrogen per thousand sq ft.
