corn gluten for weed control... (Home Depot, garden, money)

[nc99]

Where to get corn gluten for weed control. Willing to drive about 25 miles and stock up. Anyone else interested ?

I had never heard of this, so I did a little googling.

First, it's sold at home depot, Lowe's and virtually any garden supply place. I'm guessing amazon sells it, too.

Second, there's lots of anecdotal evidence that it works better as a fertilizer for weeds than a killer of weeds.

Unless your weeds have celiac issues....

I cannot imagine that corn gluten does anything but reduce competition for space in your wallet!

You need to get it down at the right time and it can work as a pre-emergent.

It's used as a per-emergent and quite frankly a waste of time and money. I put a ton down one year and didn't seem to do a darn thing.

I use the Lesco stuff IIRC at HD, works well and is cheap enough if you get the non-nitrogen infused stuff. Put it on thick and often in the spring and summer. Like every 45 days.
