That sounds like corn gluten feed rather than the CGM...I'm not sure you'll get the same efficacy with the CGF.
CGF is running $140/ton or $7/cwt; CGM == $550/ton or $27.50/cwt FOB Chicago
Kind regards,

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.Ted and SueCatskill Organics FarmDavenport NY zone 4/5
