its about time to use this product here
corn gluten is a product from corn
yes its ok to use on your yard if you are gluten intolerant
as long as you dont eat it
my dog used to love it so i guess he wasnt gluten intolerant
of course i dont use corn gluten anymore since i landscaped
away all my grass in my front yard
but
you can use it now in your yard if you live here in central texas as
a weed preventer
dont use the weed and feed stuff since it doesnt work
its use pollutes our water
your kids and dogs will play on the grass and it could harm them
the corn gluten after its spread is watered in and also works like
a mild fertilizer
it inhibits the weed seeds from germinating
so dont use it where you plan to spread seed since the seed
wont grow
weeds that are already in your yard now wont be killed by this or
even weed and feed
the time to have prevented them was in the fall with an application
of corn gluten
you just have to do it the old way
dig em up
its also time to plant your onion plants
i planted mine 2 weeks ago
since were having a run of warm weather i also took a
chance and planted my seed potatoes early
it looks like that was a good decision
unless we get real cold weather in the next few weeks
i plan to keep the potato bed covered with mulch and
row cover if that happens
otherwise ill just leave the bed uncovered in this warm weather
i dont cut my seed potatoes and dust with sulfur
i just find small ones and plant them whole
why mess with all that
and i get good production
last year in my 1 acre front yard it was loaded with these small bluebonnets
at this time
however because weve not had much rain this winter
just a 3 inch rain 3 weeks again
there just are not any bluebonnets to be found in my yard
this picture is the only one that i could find
doesnt bode well for a good bluebonnet showing this year
here is a picture of the first produce from the habitat garden my wife she
and i helped put in for the new homeowner
there is kale swiss chard 4 different lettuces spinach and cilantro that was
usedin her garden salad that day
a lot of nutrition is in this salad
its all organic and was picked fresh
something everyone could easily do
she should be able to get several more cuttings from these plants over the
next few months
this is a picture of my wife shes garden at her school
its 5 ft square and has 20 inches of good garden soil
you cant really see it but in the middle is a central composter
where she adds compost material and pours the water from their
fish aquarium in it
i call this her add garden
i tried to get them
thats my wife she and under her direction her students to plant
this in an organized fashion with one foot squares
but
it didnt work out that way
so
i just removed the 1 foot squares and they just do random scattered
plantings
like an abstract painting
but somewhere in there is a recent planting of onions and potatoes
its growing swiss chard arugula broccoli asian greens cilantro spinach
lettuce swiss chard strawberries and garlic
didnt see anything illegal though
think what ill do is mix up some water in her watering can and
will put in a mixture of ritalin and adderall
some for her to drink and some for the plants
so this garden can get some organization to it
