Product Description
60% Protein, One Ingredient, Plenty of Places to Use It
Old Cobblers Farm Corn Gluten Meal is a single-ingredient granular meal milled from corn, with 60% protein by weight as its defining specification. Protein is where its value sits: it is a concentrated, plant-derived source of slow-releasing nitrogen that soil microbes break down gradually rather than all at once.
It handles like a dry lawn product. The granular crumb runs cleanly through a broadcast spreader, spreads evenly across established turf, works into vegetable and ornamental beds with a rake, and mixes into a compost pile as a high-protein green layer. Apply in dry conditions and water in lightly afterward.
One ingredient, nothing blended in and nothing added — what is on the bag is corn gluten meal and only corn gluten meal. Bags come in 5, 10 and 15 lb.
Where to use it: established lawns and turf, vegetable and raised beds, ornamental beds and borders, and compost piles.
Key Benefits
-
60% Protein: a concentrated plant protein meal — the specification the product is sold on.
-
Slow-Release Nitrogen: the protein breaks down gradually in warm, moist soil, feeding over weeks.
-
Single Ingredient: 100% corn gluten meal, a corn-milling byproduct, with nothing blended in.
-
Multi-Use: one bag covers lawn top-dressing, bed prep and compost building.
-
Adds Organic Matter: breaks down into the soil rather than sitting on the surface.
-
Spreader Friendly: a dry granular crumb that flows through a standard broadcast spreader.
Best Uses
-
Established lawns and turf — spring and fall top-dressing
-
Vegetable gardens and raised beds — worked in at bed prep
-
Ornamental beds, borders and shrub rings
-
Compost piles — as a concentrated high-protein input
-
Gardeners who prefer a single-ingredient, plant-derived product
-
Seasonal lawn programmes (twice per year)
Important Notes
-
Apply Dry, Water In: spread in dry conditions, then water in lightly so the meal settles into the soil surface.
-
Established Areas: use on established lawns and beds. Allow about six weeks after seeding or overseeding before applying.
-
Spread Evenly: a broadcast spreader gives a more even result than hand-scattering, especially on turf.
-
Storage: store sealed in a cool, dry place. Keep away from children and pets, and away from stored feed.
-
Coverage: 5 lb up to 500 sq ft, 10 lb up to 1,000 sq ft, 15 lb up to 1,500 sq ft at the general rate.

Application Instructions
Application Instructions
-Timing: early spring or early fall, in dry conditions, before weed seeds germinate
-Activation: water in lightly after applying to release the nitrogen
-Frequency: twice per year; suppression builds with consistent seasonal use
Step by step
1. Apply in early spring or early fall, in dry conditions, before weed seeds germinate.
2. Spread 15 lbs per 1,500 sq ft (about 10 lbs / 1,000 sq ft) evenly with a broadcast spreader.
3. Water in lightly after applying to activate the nitrogen.
4. Do NOT apply when seeding or overseeding — it can inhibit desirable grass seed too.
5. Reapply twice per year for ongoing feeding and pre-germination suppression.
6. Remember it targets germinating seeds, not established weeds.
What not to do
Do not apply when seeding or overseeding (it can inhibit your grass seed too), do not expect it to kill established weeds, and do not apply outside the pre-germination window if weed suppression is the goal.
