It is more effective in fungal control and it is better for the soil. It is also much more economical to use. I recommend the Alliance brand. I am familiar with the company and I trust their product. Besides, the Dirt Doctor's seal of approval is on the bag! :wink:

Thanks for the reply, Nadine.
I can now see that it works better for those garden things; but what is
done to corn meal to make it horticultural corn meal; or is it visa versa? |

| I believe the food grade corn meal is kept under environmental conditions so that it will not grow any molds during storage. I could be wrong. I do know there are some very poisonous molds that grow on stored grain. Horticultural grade would not need that kind of protection. |

The kind of mold horticultural cornmeal might grow during storage is not a concern when using it as a fertilizer. Just don't eat it. |

Thanks to all of you folks for the info on corn meal vs corn meal.
So, it seems that if I wanted to get rid of the fungus that is growing under
my big toe nail I could use plain old ordinary corn meal; don't have to
use horticultural corn meal???

| Use HORTICULTURAL or WHOLE GROUND cornmeal. Whole ground should work better, you can use less & it feels better on the feet. Don't use any old cornmeal such as the stuff in the grocery store. There is a difference. I don't recall the exact difference but the info. is somewhere on this web site or discussion board. Maybe someone else remembers? |

I believe the answer is either/any will work, but here are several people's testimonies :
