That's nice, Ingrid, but it takes 40-50 lb. of corn gluten per 1,000
square feet to control weeds, and the stuff is 11% nitrogen. Do you
really want 4 or 5 lbs of N on your lawn?

Slow release N. unlike what Scotts will deliver.....and my bag of corn
gluten said 9%.

Actually looking at Scott's Turf builder... 30-3-3, an 18 pound bag
feeds up to 5,000 square feet. For 10,000 sq ft that's 10.8 pounds of
Nitrogen! Compared to just 4-5lbs for the corn. Corn is a moderate
amount compared to commercial ferts.

1,000 square feet is
10ft x 100ft or
20ft x 50ft or
30ft x 33ft
