Hi Chris,
I was thinking about using cracked corn which is relatively inexpensive here in Wisconsin. Blain's Farm and Fleet has 50 pound bags for $7.29. Today they have a 10% off sale so it would be $6.56 a bag. http://www.farmandfleet.com/products...cked-corn.html I have not used anything like this yet, and at like point the cause and affect are still speculative. I would definitely work cracked corn into the soil or it may become a calling card for rodents. I would think the microbes in the soil would love it. Feed the soil and let the soil feed the plants.
