Organic, Natural, Non-Toxic Weed Control

Corn Gluten

After a long, cold stretch, warmer days are finally on the horizon — and that means it’s time to get ahead of the weeds before they get ahead of you! Even with cooler temperatures, weed seeds are just waiting for the right moment to sprout.

Our favorite natural solution for preventing weeds and helping your lawn get off to a healthy start this year is Corn Gluten. A byproduct of the milling process, it is safe for pets and kids and organic, so everyone can enjoy lush, green grass all season long. Now — before the ground fully wakes up — is actually the perfect time to apply it.

Corn Gluten slowly releases nitrogen to fertilize your grass, helping roots grow deeper (less summertime watering, fewer brown spots) and keeps your lawn full and healthy throughout the growing season. Corn Gluten is also a great seed inhibitor, preventing weeds like dandelions and crabgrass from sprouting before they ever get started.

So even if the sky is a little grey and the forecast shows some drizzle, don’t let that stop you — a cloudy day is a great day to treat your lawn! Spend less time worrying about weeds and more time enjoying your yard when the sun finally comes back out.
