Hi,

Last Tuesday, the lawn care company put corn gluten on our lawn. He put
it on the flowerbeds as well! Next week, I plan to plant Zinnia,
Larkspur, Clarkia and a few other flowers from seeds in some of the
beds. I have just learned that, since corn gluten prevents germination
of weeds, my seeds may not germinate. Apparently, it will not do any
harm to any rooted seedlings.

What can I do now? Should I remove a layer of earth (how much) and
replace it with some new earth then plant the seeds? Should I forget
about planting any seeds this year? Should I get lots of peat pots and
plant them inside under lights or outside?

I am annoyed at the company to have been so careless in applying the
corn gluten. It is the first year we have had this product on our lawn.

I would appreciate some answers especially from those who have had some
experience with it.

Françoise.
