Does Organic Corn Gluten Kill Grass?


Question:I need to kill some weeds in my lawn. Will this kill the grass?

Answers:
It wont kill any plant already growing. It acts as a preemergent. It prevents seeds from germinating.
For spot treatment of weeds, try David Hall’s method of "vinegar sprayed as a foliar spray, not a soil drench. To a gallon of vinegar, mix a tablespoon of liquid dish soap and two tablespoons of molasses as wetting agents. Apply full strength from a hand sprayer. Be careful not to get any spray on you or in your eyes or inhale it.”


Corn Gluten is used as a pre-emergent. It prevents weeds from sprouting and should not kill your grass.

(It supposedly also works well on toenail fungus.)
