Bradfield Organics Corn Gluten Organic Fertilizer - 20 lbs

Developed by Iowa State University, Corn Gluten contains 1005 corn gluten, a naturally occurring substance, which inhibits the growth of a seed's tiny feeder roots. This causes the seedlings to die before they germinate. Since most weeds germinate through seeds, Corn Gluten will kill the seeds before they sprout. The granulated form makes it easy to spread by hand or by spreader. Our corn gluten is NON-gmo.

Corn Gluten as Fertilizer

As a plant food, corn gluten has a N-P-K ratio of 9-0-0, or 9% nitrogen by weight. It will fertilize your lawn, and prevent the growth of new weeds. Because it prevents seeds from sprouting, make sure you wait 60 days after application before spreading grass seed. Corn Gluten can also be used to fertilize shrubs and transplants. As a fertilizer, corn gluten can be applied at any time of year.

To Prevent Weed Growth:

As a weed suppressant, corn gluten acts as a natural "pre-emergent" - it inhibits seed germination by drying out a seed as soon as it cracks open to sprout. These qualities make corn gluten an ideal 'weed n feed' product.

To take advantage of its weed-prevention properties, it must be applied before the weed seeds start to sprout. Apply in early Spring, 3 to 5 weeks before the weeds begin to sprout, about the time the crocus and daffodils are blooming. Apply again to lawns in the fall. Corn gluten is also useful when transplanting vegetables and shrubs; apply immediately after transplanting to prevent weeds from sprouting through the enriched transplant soil and competing with your transplant.
