1st Application: All Natural Corn Gluten Pre-emergent Weed & Feed
Applied in Late February through Late March. 50lbs. covers 2500 square feet.
Corn Gluten: All Natural Pre-emergent weed control and fertilizer contains 9% nitrogen by weight. This product is derived from corn gluten meal, and is known to be extremely effective for weed control when applied in the spring and fall when weed seeds germinate. Corn gluten is used to reduce germinating weed seedlings on lawns, gardens and field crops. A broadcast spreader works best for application, and comes in granular form. It slowly releases nitrogen to keep your lawn and gardens full and healthy. Corn gluten also feeds soil microorganisms that help fight soil disease and loosen compaction. Corn gluten should be watered in after application, and can be worked into the top 2-3 inches of garden soil. This all natural weed & feed product is safe for humans, animals, soil and aquatic life. Children and pets can be active on treated areas immediately following application. Avoid spreading corn gluten in newly seeded lawn areas, or areas where biennials may reseed. Corn gluten will not eliminate existing weeds that are already well rooted. Corn gluten accumulates in the soil, and increases weed seed suppression every application.
Corn Gluten is effective against the following weed seed:
1. Crabgrass
2. Dandelions
3. Clover
4. Foxtail
5. Purslane
6. Lamb's-Quarter
7. Creeping Bent Grass
8. Smart Weed
9. Redroot Pigweed
10. Barnyard Grass
11. Bermuda Grass
12. Many additional weeds
2nd Application: Marvin's Organic Gardens 8-3-3 Fertilizer
Applied mid-May to early June. 50 lbs. cover 5000 sqaure feet
Marvin's Organic Gardens 8-3-3 fertilizer is an well-rounded organic fertilizer made from composted poultry manure, feather meal, blood meal, humic acids derived from leonardite and sea kelp. It provides essential primary nutrients in both quick release (soluble) and slow release (insoluble) form that will provide a quick "green up" for lawns and gardens, as well as feeding the lawn, gardens and soil organisms slowly over the season. MOG 8-3-3 fertilizer stimulates naturally occuring soil microorganisms that aid in the decomposition of grass clippings and thatch build up, help plants uptake nutrients more affectively, reduce soil toxicity, as well as aiding in disease control, soil aeration and drainage. Secondary and trace elements are supplied by the sea kelp and humic acids that stimulate root growth, promote healthy landscape and vegetable growth, support long-lasting blooms, enhance turf and plant resistance to stresses of drought, traffic and wind dessication. MOG 8-3-3 helps feed soil life that in turn prevents such diseases as fusarium, dollar spot, snow mold, leaf spot and brown patch. MOG 8-3-3 is applied with a broadcast spreader, and comes in granular form. Only two applications per year are needed. MOG 8-3-3 is safe for humans and animals, and will not contribute to water or soil pollution.

MOG 3-3-3 is a safe, cost effective, simple, all natural, organic fertilizer that delivers great results. It is formulated with composted poultry manure, blood meal, feather meal, humic acid derived from leonardite and sea kelp. MOG 3-3-3 provides a slow-release balance of essential nutrients for lawns, landscape plants, vegetables, annuals, herbs, bulbs, containerized (potted) plants and acid-loving plants such as Rhododendrons, Azaleas and Hollies. This organic fertilizer is naturally lower in quick release (soluble) nitrogen which makes it perfect for late season fertilization or summer fertilization of lawns and gardens when high nitrogen can be harmful to plantings. MOG 3-3-3 also feeds soil microorganisms that help to reduce thatch build-up, help plants uptake nutrients more affectively, reduce soil toxicity, as well as aiding in disease control, soil aeration and drainage. MOG 3-3-3 helps to stabilize and build soil fertility, and can applied as often as monthly. MOG 3-3-3 is also an excellent catalyst for the breakdown of organic materials in a compost pile.
