Question
QUESTION: I've recently gone organic with my lawn & garden and are having a difficult time finding places to purchase cornmeal gluten in the Northern NJ area. Any ideas?

Thanks, John

ANSWER: Northern NJ narrows it down -- but a zipcode or nearest big city will be better.  This is more available than you think.  rsvp

Answer
You can purchase plain, ordinary, feed-grade Corn Gluten Meal at many farm supply store.  It won't say anything about Weeds unless the manufacturer paid a commission for that to the patent holders (Iowa State, the inventors).

But you can also buy bags of licensed products, with directions (which you MUST follow TO THE LETTER or this WON'T WORK) at some major stores nearby.  Stores like Home Depot, and Lowes, and Agway, and Walmart.

Preen Weed Prevention Plus is sold near you in Agway and probably in Wal-Mart, Costco and Target.  But you can also order it online:

Cock-a-Doodle-Doo by Pure Barnyard Company is sold all over New Jersey.  In Paramus, at Greenland Nursery & Garden Center and Victoria's Nursery.  In Hillsdale, Bergen County Garden Center has it.  New Milford residents can buy it at Perrone's Farm & Garden Center.  

BE CAREFUL when buying Preen products - most are NOT 憃rganic?and are packed with a pesticide punch - who wants to walk barefoot in the Grass after you cover it with THAT?

You can also buy Corn Gluten Meal products online:

Remember, it's not time to use this yet, so retailers may wait forever to put it on the shelves.  I would order it by mail to make sure you have it when it's time to put it down.

Pleasure meeting you and please keep in touch.  Let me know if any of these don't work out, too.  Thanks for your question.
