|
|
| IS IT SAFE TO ASSUME THAT IF I PUT CORN GLUTEN MEAL AROUND MY FRUIT TREES I DO NOT NEED TO PUT CORM NEAL AROUND THEM ALSO? IN OTHER WORDS, DO THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME ANTIFUNGAL PROPERTIES :?: |

Horticultural Cornmeal & Whole Ground Cornmeal are used for anti-fungal applications. Corn Gluten Meal is used for fertilizing & to prevent seeds (weed) from germinating. The Corn Gluten Meal may have anti-fungal properties but I have never seen any posts or info. regarding this. What are you trying to accomplish? Search this website & the forum for lots of info. The link below (from home page) will help.

| I HAVE READ CORN MEAL SHOULD BE PUT AROUND FRUIT TREES EARLY SPRING TO HELP PREVENT FUNGAL PROBLEMS. WHERE MY FRUIT TREES ARE PLANTED, HAVE SOME PROBLEM WITH WEEDS SO I THOUGHT I COULD KILL BOTH BIRDS WITH ONE STONE. PLUS, LOCAL FEEDSTORE CARRIES CORN GLUTEN MEAL IN 50LB BAGS FOR $26.00 WHICH IS MUCH CHEAPER THAN I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND CORN MEAL. THE TREES IN MY ORCHARD RANGE FROM LESS THAN 1 YEAR TO 3 YEARS OLD AND THERE ARE ABOUT 15 OF THEM. |
