Stop Weed Seeds from Sprouting in the Lawn
When the Forsythias are blooming, it’s time to think of weed control for your lawn. Instead of applying a broad spectrum herbicide to control weeds in your lawn, try Espoma Organic Weed Preventer made of corn gluten. The corn gluten prevents weed seeds from germinating, so it’s effective against crab grass.
Espoma’s Organic Weed Preventer is 100 percent corn gluten, which helps your lawn grow faster and greener. Corn gluten is part of growing a Safe Paws lawn, so children and pets can safely walk on the grass.
Apply Weed Preventer in early spring on a dry, recently mowed established lawn. But do not use corn gluten if you recently seeded the lawn. Corn gluten will stop all seeds from germinating, not just weeds!
Greener grass is on the horizon! If this is your first year applying a weed preventer, you’ll see up to 58 percent fewer weeds. In your second year, you’ll see up to 85 percent weed reduction. In year three, you’ll have up to 91 percent fewer weeds, according to Iowa State University research. Plus, you’ll have healthier soil and feel better about what you’re putting into it.
Now’s the time to apply!
