Our Board member, Jayne Huntley, would like to share this with you all.
Types of weeds affected:
- crabgrass (Digitaria ischaemum)
- dandelions (Taraxacum officinale)
- reduces the germination rate for curly dock, knotweed, lambs quarters, pigweed, and plantain.
Use corn gluten meal for:
- lawns
- flowerbeds
- bulb beds
- vegetable gardens
A 20 kg bag does one application for 4500 square feet so should do at least 2 years+ in a 20x30 garden. You need to apply every 6 weeks or so (about 3 times a season). It in stops seeds from germinating for up to 6 weeks so you should use it after your plants are up or where you are going to put already sprouted plants such as peppers and tomatoes. At a local garden centre it was $40, but they also had it at Costco I think, likely for less.
