Default Milorganite organic fertilizer as deer deterent

Few repellants work if the deer are allready habituated to feeding on
your grounds.
When the choice is eating where it stinks or starving the choice is
obvious.

I read on the Internet that Milorganite organic turf fertilizer has a
distinct odor that seems to deter deer. Has anyone tried it with any
success? Is it only for lawns or can it be used in the garden too?
I'll probably buy a bag to try it out. The deer have been visiting more
and more, and like to chomp on my wife's favorite garden plants.
