Question for Bill and other gardeners, I heard you can sprinkle cornmeal around plants and it keeps weeds from growing. Not in inches but just sprinkled. This doesn’t sound right to me but what do I know :icon_scratch::dontknow:
"Did you know that corn gluten meal is birth control for seeds? Sprinkle it on your garden and it will keep weed seeds from germinating and growing into plants. Of course, corn gluten meal will keep any seed from germinating, so don’t try this on your vegetable garden until your plants are established and you’ve finished planting seeds."

End of the day, everyone have a good one.

jim,

I just learned something.....I'm wondering though if the residue of the cornmeal would prevent sprouting on future direct seeded vegetables.

Just in case I'll stick with the mulch option.
