From Howard Garrett Web page. CORN GLUTEN MEAL PRE-EMERGENT
The timing for applying corn gluten meal for pre-emergent weed control is just before the weeds start to germinate. We usually guess that to be February 15 to March 15. Liquid corn gluten meal spray – a listener/farmer recommendation that's a great idea. 2014 The way we use corn gluten on our fields – we make a tea out of it and spray on the fields once a month from Autumn to May. Works very well. We use 2 to 6 cups of corn gluten to 100 gallons of water and spray it on with a pull behind sprayer. We just put the corn gluten meal in panty hose and suspend it in the sprayer when we fill it up, then swish the panty hose, remove and stir. Use at about 35 gallons per acre. Simple, economical and effective.
Awesome! Iām so allergic to RoundUp that I have to carry a pro-mask all summer and an epi-pen! Yay for a normal farm working dude that also is doin the right thing and dumping bad chemicals. Be careful with the vinegar, itās still acidic. Wear protection!
I like your enthusiasm and obvious joy for what you're doing. However, as a scientist, your methods leave much to be desired. Glyphosate IS a type of salt, which is translocated to the root of the plant by the leaves when they are sprayed. As such, it kills the plant, not just the tops of the plant, so it does take a little longer. Ammonia based products will have a more dramatic short-term result, but may or may not kill the roots as effectively. It should also be pointed out that there is no proof, from any scientific study ever performed, that glyphosate is carcinogenic. In fact, an 8 year long study by the National Cancer Institute, a well-funded quasi-governmental agency, found no causal link between glyphosate and cancer. The lawsuits that have been awarded have all been of the civil kind, and only in the most liberal of jurisdictions, where the burden of proof is apparently not very high. As long as you don't soak your fence in gly for weeks on end, and use the product as directed, there is no proven reason to avoid glyphosate. Also, what WAS that discoloration from in the vinegar solution?
Really glad I stumbled on your channel the other day. I've learned a lot since then. This video is very educational and entertaining. I'm sold on the Green Gobblerš thank you for sharing. I really like your channel. Cheers from Brownsville,Tx God Bless. Oh and I Love your Dogsš
I appreciate your enthusiasm and mission to try and find an "organic" solution if that's what you desire. While your test doesn't describe any potential negatives of using a 20% Vinegar solution, you also don't talk about what most people are looking for with a fence line or bare ground killer, which is efficiency (100% kill and potentially not having to re apply). Comparing a contact herbicide to a systemic in the matter that you did was also slightly misleading I thought (seeing activity from the Vinegar after an few hours, yes that makes sense. RoundUp taking several days to work it's way through the plant, also nothing earth shattering about this) Speed of kill does not always correlate to efficiency as you seemed to try and make it seem. There are many products, some containing glyphosate, some not, that are much more efficient that green gobbler on the market for use on fence rows, pasture, bare ground. I only say that because I have experience with hundreds of different products in commercial use. Doesn't mean I know it all, I just have a lot of experience. Again, I don't share your views on Glyohosate but I tip my cap to you in regards to your time spent in researching and trying to learn what works best for you and your farm.
I wonder if that's why my metal building has been looking kind of shitty lately!!! my new neighbors behind me use weed n feed and we usually have pretty dry summers so maybe it's eating my building!
@Stoney Ridge Farmer Vinegar will remove galvanizing on metal including your fence then when it gets wet it will rust. Notice the black liquid in your container that's galvanize that has been removed and the wire is black because the galvanize is gone. The reason your test piece isn't rusting is because of the vinegar is a acid which will remove some rust. We use vinegar to remove galvanizing on bolts before welding.
They have been looking for people who have used roundup often And got NHL cancer for several years and only found 2 or 3.There are more people who drank milk every day and got NHL cancer. Can we get a California jury to hit the milk industry for several billion? I also haveĀ a steel lug wrench that causes cancer in California. I'm just waiting to see what I die from.

I tried this and it didn't work at all, POS
I've been extolling the virtues of vinegar for more than a decade now. Glad to see it getting the props it deserves.
Have you tried an extended test of which one kills the roots and which one is just a defoliant?

Ill try to use that weed killer if i could find one at rural king and love your x1100 kobota i got one on my farm x900 same motor love your videos.
Does it kill grass aswell?
Can you do a follow up video on longer term results please?
How about an update on green gobbler. How well did it do? how long did it last?
13:08 I liked the Noveske sticker on the John Deer. š
Use a weed burner, at 500,000 BTU's you just have to pass the flame over the weeds and they are dead.
Im glad you didn't sp anything extreme with Lexi she is a beautiful dog I wish I lived closer I'd buy a puppy for my wife
That seems to be a great organic weed killer Josh, thanks for sharing! I might look into getting some!
Vinegar can work thru galvanized coating of metal – therefore metal begins to rust – troughs, metal chicken waterers, possibly galvanized fencing.
Shwheww cant hide money $$$ Nice property Sir!

Wow, 20% and 30% vinegar is big bucks. I just used a gal. need much more! Was $27.00 for 30 % vinegar.
Oh my!
Good video. Thanks for making it.
Vinegar, water and a drop of liquid dish soap to help it stick to the weeds. Cheapest and safest weed killer you'll find. You're welcome.
(Dust) I'm sure you meant drift!

I've been told that the right solution for Round-up 2%. You've mentioned the organic stuff is a 20% solution. 2 questions:
Did you test the same solution level?
Doesn't a 20% v. 2% solution difference make the organic 10 times more expensive [ actually more because it is already 20% more expensive on Amazon].
Am I understanding correctly?
Thanks
Hi Josh, how long does the green gobbler last before u have to reapply it?
Who sprays straight glysophate on there fence line without dilution ?
I can only imagine what glyphosate does to your gut health. so many people with iron and magnesium deficiencies….
I wonder if that's why my metal building has been looking kind of shitty lately!!! my new neighbors behind me use weed n feed and we usually have pretty dry summers so maybe it's eating my building!
New drinking game. Take a shot every time Josh says āSuper Duperā!
I use vinegar to clean rusty tools and such. Wonder how the green gobble would work?

Put some mulch or rocks along the fence to stop the weeds

If the title had omitted killer you would have 1M views by now. š LOL.
Knipex makes the best pliers on the market in my opinion . They're pricey but superior in design and function.
