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!!   Tuesday, January 21 View Page For those of you curious about the mustard meal, it is both a biological fungicide as well as a fertilizer. I’ve added quite a bit of it for a small patch, and will have to reconcile the nutrients in the spring. I like the fact that it’s got some sulfur in it because it seems like I am always chasing that element.
