Hi Rosalie,
I can tell you from experience that the amount of weeds depends highly on how it is milled and then where it is stored. If now milled at high enough temperature the weed seeds survive. Even at a temperature that kills weeds if stored in a dirty bin weeds can come up. Last year I had some milo in my feedbags and this year there was quite a bit of wheat and 2 stalks of corn showed up. Easy enough to pull out if caught early but both grow like gangbusters in garden loam.

John Bruce wrote that he felt the pellets were responnsible for his extra
weeds. Are you sure about that? I would think the pellets were the same as
the meal and the weeds came from the plowing/digging/rototilling/spading or
however you worked the ground. As I understand it, there are weed seeds down
there that surface whenever the ground is disturbed --- maybe buried for
many years. I have used pellets for many years == they are the small
pellets the size of an eraser -on-a-pencil -- not the size of a thumb-size.
They stay put and don't blow in the wind when putting downl And it is true
that horse, not rabbit food is preferred. Rosalie nr Baltimore zone 7
