120 pounds should cover 6,000 square feet. Is that what you have?
The best one to use is the one you can get nearby. I use corn meal because I can get it at any of 5 feed stores nearby. You can get free USED coffee grounds from Starbucks if you drive by one of those.
I've never had any luck with chemical fungicides in Texas. If you read the label carefully, the only time the environment is exactly right (temperature, rainfall, humidity, etc.) is on January 17 and I don't have any problems on that day. Every other day it is too hot or too wet. Corn meal is my salvation.
If you had bad luck with corn meal, I would suggest applying compost. If you have use commercial fungicides, your soil needs the compost anyway, but compost is sure to have the beneficial fungi you need for the corn meal to work. Coffee grounds also support those beneficial fungi so that might help you.
