Espoma Organic Weed Preventer Lawn Food

Corn gluten meal acts as a natural pre-emergent. It works by inhibiting the root development of weed seeds as they germinate, preventing them from establishing themselves in your soil.

No, you should avoid using this product on newly seeded areas. Because it prevents seeds from rooting, it will stop your grass seed from germinating just as effectively as it stops weeds.

For the best results, apply in early spring before weed seeds germinate and again in early fall. Timing is critical, as the product must be applied before the weeds begin to sprout.

No, this is a pre-emergent, not a post-emergent herbicide. It will not kill weeds that have already sprouted or established themselves; it only prevents new seeds from taking root.

Yes, because the active ingredient is 100% corn gluten meal, it is a natural, organic alternative to synthetic chemical herbicides, making it safer for use in family landscapes.

With an NPK ratio of 9-0-0, this product provides a steady supply of organic nitrogen to support lush, green growth. While it feeds your lawn, you may still need to supplement with other nutrients depending on your specific soil test results.
