using animal food on lawn


Question
I have read about using Calf Manna , Alfalfa
pellets and sugar on the lawn.  Will you please give me instruction in how much to use per Sq foot, the frequency in applying these produdts and any and all info that I may use?

Answer
Dear Jimmy:

I am most familiar with Corn Gluten protein used as animal feed and as an organic lawn fertilizer.  Application rates vary from 3 to 12 pounds per 1000 square feet and depends on the existing fertility condition of the soil.  I would recommend a spring and mid to late fall application.

The website listed below should be useful additional and reference information for you:

Good luck with your project.
