ORGANIC PRE-EMERGENT WEED AND FEED

100% Granulated Corn Gluten Meal

What is Corn Gluten Meal?
Corn gluten meal is a by-product of the wet milling of corn. Because it is more
than 60% protein, it has long been used as an animal feed. That "more than
60%" protein means that it is also 10% nitrogen, a water insoluable form of
nitrogen which releases slowly and so will not burn. There is no contact problem
for children or animals who may play on the lawn even immediately after it is
applied. It doesn't leach or run off. It is slow release so it will not burn.
There is no manure so there are no noxious odors.
How does it prevent weeds?
While the root seeds will germinate, corn gluten inhibits root development
which means that the weeds simply fade away. The number of weeds will
decrease form 30% to 45% the first year. During the third year, these
weeds should not be a factor: crab grass, foxtail, lamb's quarter, purslane
and redwood pigweed, etc. It will also prevent new dandelions from developing
from dandelion seed, but does not affect the perennial weekds which already
have well established root systems. In addition, because corn gluten meal is an
excellent fertilizer, it will thicken the turf, crowding out weeds. The best
weed preventer is thick, healthy turf.

Application
As a pre-emergent weed control for the spring weeds -- crabgrass, etc -- it
should be applied in the spring before crab grass and other weeds that grow
from seeds germinate, when the lilacs are coming out and/or the forsythia is
blooming. For pre-emergent weed and feed purposes, it is put down at a rate
of 1 lb. per 50 sq. ft. (A 25 lb. bag covers 1250 sq. ft.)
If the weed problem is severe, Renaissance 10-0-0 can be applied again in
the fall, after the heat stress of the summer is over but before the fall
weeds sprout. This is usually some time between mid-August and
mid-September.

Precautions
Do not use Renaissance 10-0-0 on turf that has not been established for at
least 90 days.
