I'd put it out as fertilizer. A friend of mine swears he hasn't had fire ants since he started using corm meal. I sure wouldn't put it in compost and make it rot.

Spread around your roses to help prevent black spot, around your tomato to prevent tomato fungus, it also helps treat brown spot on your lawn. My husband uses it for preventing any fungus or virus on plants. He swears by it. The dogs love it too. Barbra,

Agree with the posters above. And, as you were guessing, I think, its corn gluten meal that some use as a pre-emergent.

Should be a fine organic fertilizer. 15 to 20 lbs per thousand sq ft.

Best use? Corn bread.

I bought corn meal last year at the feed store and the container we stored it in was not air tight. We now have bugs in the corn meal. Is it still usable or should I throw it out?

I should think that it should be fine as an organic fertilizer, even with bugs in it. If you have chickens, let them scratch the bugs out! Or just borrow a chicken! Ahh, this is what my country life has led me to, advising some poor soul to borrow a chicken ...

But I am with you...I was hoping i could put it out, attact ALL the birds for lunch, and fertilizer while controlling BS. I REALLY like to multi-task. ;-)

Borrow a chicken? A rooster or a hen? Can you rent one?
mommyfox it's time to take a trip to the city hon. Pretty soon you'll have your own chain of Foxes Rent a Hen stores across the country.
Tally HO!

Do you get to keep the eggs when you borrow a hen?

Sounds good, if you want to kill the bugs first place in the freezer for a couple days. If you are just feeding birds, etc nothing else is needed except I don't know what will happen to the bugs except most of them will get away. As for the chickens they probably will eat everyting.

Tally, you can sure make me laugh!

PS - laughing is good!

Whooo, I got me a business idea! I'm gonna be one a them "onterpenewers!"
