Pre-emergent?
 

Hi all,

I've read where in certain incidents you must use "pre-emergent"
solutions. What is meant by 'pre-emergent?'

Thanks loads,

That is short for "pre-emergent herbicide." This type of weed control
inhibits germination, thus "pre-emergent." The most common one is sold as
"Preen." You generally apply it in early spring and then in about four
months. Some lawn products, generally sold as "step one" have pre-emergent
herbicide and fertilizer combined. "Post-emergent" products kill existing
weeds, while pre-emergent prevent weeds.

Vox,

Thank you very much, you sure explained it well.

Anyone know of a low-priced source of corn gluten pre-emergent?

A year or more ago, I read that Lowe's was going to sell it, but our
local Lowe's does not.
