|
|
I have read all 18 pages of the Pests and Disease forum and did not find anything referring to the order of applying cornmeal/corn gluten meal/beneficial nematodes/etc.
I have read that you are supposed to apply BN in early spring but before or after corn meal/corn gluten meal?
How many weeks/months seperation between the two?
My yard is terrible and I want to get the fertilization, anti-fungas, anti-grub applications going immediately and get some healthy soil and lawn but do not know which to start with at this point in time.
Thanks in advance for any help. |

* You can put out beneficial nematodes any time, unless the ground is frozen.
* The corn gluten meal is a great fertilizer. Organic fertilizers may be put down at any time, just space your two or three fertilizations out fairly evenly over the year. I would not use corn gluten meal any more than twice a year. Use different fertilizers each time for best results.
* Only 10% of grub worms are bad. The rest are beneficial. They work somewhat like earthworms. They aerate the soil and break stuff down into nutrients the plants can assimilate. |
