Paul, I actually used the pellets this time and found it was so much easier to use. Plus, I saw a difference between the animal feed and pellets. The only down fall is the cost. Pellets or grandules are 2x the price!

I don’t think it will hurt your grass. How do you like the Z grass? Are you in the south? Anna

So how did it work out for you last year? Didn’t see an update and I’m thinking about making the switch to Corn Gluten this year.

Any idea if it has negative effects on Zoysia grass??

Yes. Compost can be used as a top dressing for your lawn to aid in fertilizing. Though compost doesn’t have a lot of nitrogen, its nutrient value is feeding the soil which in turn feeds the plant, a very beneficial thing to do.

Humic acid is a natural occurring by-product of composted materials. There are a lot of beneficial factors to using products with humic acid. One of the biggest benefits of humic acid is in helping the soil facilitate nutrients for plants. Using humic acid with compost will enhance the benefits for your soil and plants.

I hope this helps!

That’s pretty funny. Crabgrass is definitely a wanna be! Which type of tomatoes are you growing? I am trying a new one called sausage tomato which is like a plum tomato. All of my peppers are still seedlings. Anna

Brenda, I read your article on your blog. Can you use compost instead of humic acid for nutrients? What exactly does humic acid do? Anna

This is a great article about using corn gluten in your yard! I am glad that you mentioned that you need to wait before reseeding your lawn as it does indeed prevent new grass from growing. However, it does provide a great source of nitrogen for your lawn and it will definitely green up quicker. Try using a product with humic acid in it for even better results. It is an organic product. I mentioned it in a post at my blog. Here is a link: http://her-gardening-blog.com/.....or-spring/

Let me know how the corn gluten worked for your crabgrass and if it made a difference on the kind you used. I find this fascinating.
