Flour as a fertiliser?

In spite of growing up on a farm and gardening for over 70 years I had not come across this before now. There are a number of articles on line and there does seem to be some point but I would be concerned that used as some suggest it would kill a lot of the good bugs as well as the not so useful. Any thoughts?

I've never heard of that one, but a web quick search is really enlightening!

And I've just chucked out a huge bag of strong flour, well past its use-by date too..;0~

Looking further afield, (pun intended), around here, there are several fields which have previously had wheat, barley etc., growing, and are now fallow for the foreseeable future, as they've been bought by a Wildlife Trust for dog walks etc.

This year, the first since they were cropped, they're covered in wild wheat, oats, barley etc, and now I'm wondering if the nitrogen in the seed will help the grass to get away and grow well!

Nice topic Moose, and well worth a bit of research! Good point about the starch too Nobbie!
