User questions & answers

Question:	Do I use this before or after I fertilize my lawn in the Fall
Answer:	I wouldn't necessarily use this in the Fall. September is a nice cool month to do some reseeding, and you can't put this down within 6 weeks of seeding the lawn. I tend to do a March application and a 2nd April application, leaving me a window to seed the lawn in June. Always remember, June and September are the 2 best months to seed your lawn. I also wouldn't put this down in the fall because crabgrass does not tend to germinate in the fall, it germinates in March and April.
Question:	Is this effective against crabgrass
Answer:	I used it for the first time this season. I couldn't see that it did anything although I understand that it should be used for 3 consecutive seasons to see significant results. I wasn't pleased with the size of the pellets (rabbit food size). It took several rain events for the product to dissolve. Maybe this is better but it just wasn't what I expected. In the spring I plan to use a chemical crabgrass preventer. I'm changing over to a zoysia lawn. Zoysia may go dormant and turn brown in the winter but it requires no watering and less mowing in summer. In a few seasons I won't need any fertilizer or weed killer (except for spot treatments).
Question:	Can this be used in the garden as well as the lawn
Answer:	Does this kill the grasses that produce those nasty "Foxtails"? I have animals, vegetable garden, etc. and need a better way to kill these weeds/grasses before they produce the foxtails. Trying to "weed-wacker" them down before they get the foxtails is not always possible for me due to health issues.
Question:	Is this a good product to use on gravel walkways to avoid weed growth
Answer:	Mike McGrath says: Spread even the finest quality corn gluten on established weeds like those walkway ones, however, and you'll simply be feeding them. Mulch,vinegar, flame, hoeing and/or hand pulling are the answer here-and in that large-scale, Master Gardener situation. Yes, you could prevent future weeds by dusting with corn gluten every six weeks, but it would be hugely expensive and you'd be wasting all that great nitrogen fertilizer if there weren't 'wanted' plants growing in that area.

User questions & answers

Question:	what kind of spreader & on what setting
Answer:	I set a Scotts Speedygreen 2000 on 9. I saw a pretty fair improvement in lawn health last year.
Question:	Will this work in flowerbeds to prevent weed germination? Looking for an organic alternative to Preen
Answer:	It's not a weed killer. In my experience, it makes the grass grow faster and thicker and thus the weeds are squeezed out and don't get a good foothold. But in flower beds, you're not growing grass.
Question:	Will this help get rid of clover
Answer:	As far as my experience goes with corn gluten in general it will not affect clover. It's only effective against germination of dandelion seeds and only in the common ones found in the Midwest. Not the different types found in the Northwest.
Question:	How many square feet does it cover
Answer:	if I rember correctly -it would have been enough to do my whole yard(average subdivision lot) ...go to dirt doctor.com and search this on howard's site..

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use this in compost tea
Answer:	The one pictured which is a 4-6-3 does say organic on the label. Also, I did a review of this a month or so ago after comparing it to another organic brand name with the same numbers. Multiple seedlings I started at the same time and were the same size when transplanted within a few weeks were significantly larger in the containers with Dr Earth. Be careful about one thing, there is a supplier that appears to be showing this and advertising it as a more expensive version 5-7-3 Premium Dr Earth and then sending this. On four separate occasions I ordered the premium version as described in their ad wanting to comparison try that one and received this one. I believe Amazon, with their integrity, pulled the 25 pound bag of that after my telephone calls but some other online stores have not. THIS 4-6-3 IS GREAT STUFF!!
Question:	Is this for vegetable plants
Answer:	I believe a four pound bag would have six cups. An 11 pound bag would have 22 cups.
Question:	Can i use it with my indoor plants (no veggies)? Also with my indoor herbs
Answer:	They make a special blend for houseplants, I believe.
Question:	Are there any type of bone meal or other animal products in this? Is it vegan
Answer:	Yes, the back of the package has instructions for 3 main catagories: “tomatoes, peppers & herbs” “eggplant, corn, cucumber, beans, lettuces, Brococci” and “carrots, onions, potatoes, beets, etc.” under each of those 3 main categories’ instructions, there are 3 sub catagories: “new plantings” (with a section ‘for containers’) “established plants” (also has a section ‘for containers’) and “when to apply.”
