| I am putting in grass plugs and the instructions say to immediately use a pre-emergent and then to fertilize after 2 weeks.
Since the Corn Gluten meal is supposed to be watered in and allowed to dry 3 days and the plugs need to be watered daily, I went ahead and put the CGM down (20lbs/1000 sf) and watered it in yesterday, and will hopefully get the plugs in this weekend. Question: I read that the CGM provides a large amount of nitrogen and I don't want to inadvertently overdo things, what type of fertilizer should I use for the plugs in 2 weeks? Oh, and I did spread about 3/4" of compost prior to the CGM as well. Any help is appreciated!

| the nitrogen in corn meal is not immediately available, it will be released gradually as the microbes break the product down. so i don't think it will harm your grass. depending on how much u used, you may not need to add anymore organic ferts come 2 weeks from now. |

| CGM contains 9% nitrogen. It is slow release. |
