I believe it is composted sewer sludge from Milwaukee. Same as our alamo
grow and I think you have a similiar product in Austin. This accounts for
the "interesting oder". I have heard some concerns about what other
chemicals that maybe in the product but the Government has certified it as
safe. For a couple bucks more you can get good compost.

I've been using Milorganite fertilizer in my yard. Have you used it?

No, I haven't seen any up close. I gather it is a granular product,
an organic version of material stripped down to basic nutrients. I
like the compost products because they bring a full ecosystem to your
soil. I'm not sure if milorganite adds actual bulk humus-type stuff
and microbes or not.

Yes, black granules. You use a fair amount at a time, and if you put it
down at the wrong time or spill too much, it doesn't burn the plants. A
long-time mom and pop nursery owner near me swears by it and says it does
add to the soil. Has a rather, um, interesting odor though, but then so do
a lot of organic products.
