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, bill William Redding Medical Researcher at www.linkable.org Learn a language at www.ITeachOonline.com |

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. |

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. Thanks. vince norris |
