Organic Weed Prevention Products

(HIT) - It can take hours of backbreaking labor to clear your lawn or garden of weeds. Of course, you could use traditional chemical herbicides but then you risk causing chemical burns to your expensive plants, or worse, exposing your family and pets to toxic chemicals. Now there is a convenient, natural alternative to chemical herbicides for consumers that are concerned about their health and environment – Concern® Necessary Organics Weed Prevention Plus® 100% Natural Corn Gluten Pre-emergent Herbicide from Woodstream. Organic Weed Prevention Plus stops weeds before they start. Even more important, organic Weed Prevention Plus is made of 100% natural ingredients and is totally safe for people, pets, wildlife, and the environment. Amazingly, the active ingredient comes from an unexpected source – corn.

In 1986, an award-winning scientist at Iowa Sate University’s Research Foundation made an incredible discovery. He found that corn gluten meal, an animal feed by-product of the manufacture of cornstarch, could inhibit the germination of grass and weed seeds in test plots. This discovery led to further research, which showed that corn gluten meal contains naturally occurring substances, which dramatically slow the growth of the seed’s tiny feeder roots. Feeder roots are critical to the growth of seeds. Without feeder roots, seeds are prevented from getting the water and nutrients needed to grow. Weeds die before ever having a chance to take hold. Established plants were demonstrated to be unaffected by exposure to corn gluten meal. This discovery was so unique and well documented that it was awarded two patents from the United States Patent Office.

When used as directed, organic Weed Prevention Plus will not harm beneficial insects, soil organisms, and pond or stream life. It is composed entirely of granulated corn gluten meal in a homogenous pellet for uniform nutrient and herbicide distribution. Corn gluten meal is commonly used as an animal feed. It is so safe that children and pets can play on the lawn immediately after application!

It’s easy to use organic Weed Prevention Plus to control weeds. On lawns, you simply spread it evenly over existing grass and any areas, such as cracks in sidewalks, where you’d like to inhibit weed growth. Remember, Weed Prevention Plus prevents seeds from taking root it doesn’t affect established plants.
