Are you talking about the same cornmeal that you would purchase at the grocery store? or is a different type? If it's different, can you tell me where you purchase it?
Yes. Just regular cornmeal. You can purchase it at your local grocery store.
I have this weed that has overtaken my garden and lawn. It sends out runners everywhere. It's too much to pull up by hand. Appreciate any advice!
This is Creeping Charlie and this article will help you.

I have been using Grass Cutter for years I am not good enough with a computer or phone to send a image. I have brought to LSU Ag. Ext. and they identified it as torpedo
We do not recommend specific products, unfortunately. I would recommend getting in touch with your local extension service, again, for information on chemicals, where/how to obtain them, and offer professional advice on its use.
Could someone tell me what this is and how to permanently remove it from my lawn. Front lawn receives morning sun. Pulled up a bit of it and its roots are not deep. Area where it grows contains more sand than soil. Numerous online searches gave me no answers. Hopefully you can help.
It is very hard to say without seeing a close up of the plant in question.
I would contact your local agricultural extension services to have them help.
In the meantime, here are some articles that will help:

The soil has become rock hard after 3years under the membrane I think it may retard growth of good plants as well as weeds
The membrane should be changed out when you amend the soil for the growing season. Sometimes, you can reuse the membrane, but not amending the soil after each season will leave you with compact, unusable soil.
This may require heavy tilling, but earthworms can help, as well.

pes. How can I get rid of these and recover the grass lawn? Photos enclosed. About half of my lawn is covered with these weeds.
It looks like trefoil and white clover, among others, which are annual weeds. One thing you can do to help combat annual weeds is not let them go to seed. Keep mowing as often as you need to so they can't form seed heads.
You can use a post emergent herbicide to combat them now, but once the flower is present, they are in the end of their life cycle and the herbicides are not as effective. May just as well keep mowing at this point. Here are some articles that should help your weed management. You are basically dealing with annual and perennial weeds plus grassy weeds.

dear professionals, it is an honor for me to ask you following question. Applicable dosage of Cloransulam methyl 84% DWG is 17.5 g a.i/ha. I am gonna use Cloransulam powder on my onions to kill Cocklebur. Does that mean that i have to add 17.5 grams of Cloransulam powder into 200 liter of water (for 1 ha)?
Generally, this will be per 300 liters! You have the right idea, though.
Here is a page that will give you some very useful information on application rates, and how to read them:
