Go the extra mile with your weed prevention using Old Cobblers Farm’s Corn Gluten All-Natural Weed Prevention 10 lbs. The standard rate: 20 pounds of gluten per 1,000 (30x30 area-ish) square feet of lawny goodness. Crabgrass, beware! Just remember after application, you need a dry spell for the root production of germinated weed seeds to be inhibited. Timing can be tricky, though, and the first application will only suppress about 60%. Results might not be perfect, but, after several treatments, Corn Gluten can reach 80% effectiveness at controlling crabgrass. Plus, it's pet-friendly, kid-safe, and doubles as a fertilizer (9-0-0)!
