I'm also thinking about spreading milorganite in the fall. I live in a zone 5 climate. What are others doing in the fall to prep garden for winter?
I'm also zone 5...
I will continue to fertilize almost up to the first frost. I try to spread alfalfa and Milorganite late in the fall, but if one of those was going to be missed, it would be the Milorganite. I can spread that in the spring with the same effect, but the alfalfa will spend the winter slowly breaking down to provide a nice boost immediately in the spring.
I hand water because I don't have an irrigation system. I do use a fertigater to make my life a little easier. I have been using Miracle Gro (16-8-24) water soluble because that is what is readily available. I think I have found a source for a better product so I may switch to that next year.
