    Default Corn Gluten

    Has anyone every used corn gluten as a weed preventative? I have been reading about this online and wanted to try it instead of using a pesticide. Anyone out there already do this? What are your results?

    thanks

    Yes my dh put some down about a month ago. Not sure yet of the results. It stunk a little bit like poop once he got it down. Not for long though.

    If you remember, please let me know what you thought of it. We put a bag of it down yesterday. We'll see. It appears the dogs are all in it... the smell I think, but they seem fine.

    thanks again

    Interesting concept. This sounds like a very worthwhile plan to combat weeds, etc. I certainly hope it works.
