Finished spreading 50 lbs of Mustard Meal Pellets and 100 pounds of ground Mustard Meal. This is my second (and final) mustard meal application in the offseason. I watered it in until a crust developed to seal in the gas.

This is a great alternative to planting mustard for disease management. I have very little sunlight in the patch in the winter so growing mustard has had limited success. I have noticed that the meal works very well for weed suppression.

One caution: I managed to get some of the ground meal between my shoe and my foot. Once it got some moisture there, I found out that it burns like hell. Don't get this stuff on your skin. It's hot enough to make your skin blister!!
