Hi I was just thinking about using corn gluten myself
Fedco sells corn gluten it is 45$ for 50 pounds. 2000
pounds is 1600$.The application rate is 20 pounds per hundred square feet
close to the time of weed germination .
Moderator I hope this is ok if not feel

Quoting the Fedco catalog " Corn Gluten (10% N) Works as a
pre-emergent weeds like dandelions,pigweed,and crabgrass by inhibiting root
formation. Not recommended for use on existing weeds as the thigh nitrogen
content makes it very effective fertilizer for leaf growth. Moisture is
necessary for activation but too much moisture reduces effectiveness. Can be
used in gardens for weed control once the desired plants are well established
seedlings. A good practice would be manual cultivation followed by an
application of corn gluten."
I know when it is used on lawns to kill broadleaf weds it takes a few years
to fully control them. Hope this helps.
