How It Works: Corn Gluten Meal Explained
Corn gluten meal works as a pre-emergent herbicide , which means it prevents seeds from germinating . It doesn’t kill existing weeds but stops new ones from taking root . Here’s how:
After application, the corn gluten creates a barrier at the soil level .
When weed seeds begin to germinate, they need to develop a root.
Corn gluten inhibits this root development, causing the seed to dry out and die.
In addition, corn gluten contains about 10% nitrogen , which feeds your lawn naturally and gives it that sought-after green boost.
When to Apply
Timing is everything with this product. Because it works before weeds sprout, you want to apply it early in the season — as soon as the soil begins to warm up in spring .
💡 Pro tip : A great sign that it’s time to apply is when forsythia bushes bloom in your area. That usually signals that crabgrass seeds are about to germinate.
Here’s an ideal schedule for application:
| Season | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Early Spring | Stop crabgrass, dandelions, and early weeds |
| Late Spring | Reinforce weed barrier and nourish lawn |
| Late Summer / Early Fall | Prep lawn for winter and prevent fall-germinating weeds |
⚠️ Important Note : Do not apply grass seed for 60–90 days after applying this product. It will prevent grass seed from germinating too!
