I live in North Plano in a relatively new house. We have bermuda grass in our yard. This winter we over seeded our lawn with recommended ryeseed Mr. Garrett mentioned in one of his Friday columns in the DMN. Most of the seed never germinated. In our backyard the bermuda and rye is mottled. We have been using cornmeal gluten as a fertilizer for three seasons. I was wondering if there is some sort of fungal thing going on, or something else. Please advise! Thanks!

Gluten cornmeal will act as a herbicide. It is not to be used when planting any seeds. It is an excellent fertilizer though. Ck the following sites/posts for more info. Also, see this site for a lot of info.

It's likely the CGM prevented your seed from germinating. It makes a great fertilizer but it also makes a great seed killing preemergent herbicide.

You might consider going to a different protein source for your fertilizer. Some high protein suggestions are linseed (flax) meal, soy meal, or cottonseed meal. These are higher in protein and lower cost than CGM. Availability varies from feed store to feed store.
