I hope I didn't lead you astray! We use a spreader to apply it and basically we just throw it everywhere evenly and then water the grass. 3x a summer (easy to remember Memorial Day/ July 4th/ Labor Day). It is an herbacide, like layanee said, so don't apply it if you're trying to grow grass. Basically it doesn't allow anything to germinate. It should also make your grass grow like wildfire, so you'll be cutting it more often. <BR/><BR/>We have such a small lawn area that one bag lasts us 5 applications. So over the winter I left it in the shed and a family of mice ate through the bag and set up house. Fortunately they found new digs by the time I discovered it in April. But yes, mice will like the corn meal.Rosemariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18286254322888159442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864781849969727346.post-61997418499416955162007-09-12T09:00:00.000-07:002007-09-12T09:00:00.000-07:00Gina: Corn gluten is on my list for lawn care. I ...Gina: Corn gluten is on my list for lawn care. I can tell you that it is a Nitrogen fertilizer and works as a weed suppressant when applied in early spring. Here it is recommended to apply it when the forsythias are in bloom as it does work as a pre-emergent seed killer. Therefore, do not use it if you are going to re-seed your lawn. Can't wait to see the results!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
