Am I weed free? No. But I have noticed a considerable amount of less weeds in my yard. I have three more years to go. Just be patient you will be if you don’t care about the environment as I do. I grow organically to the best of my ability. Just be sure you don’t over spread into your garden because then your seeds will not sprout. If you’re using this product knew your garden I highly recommend your plants are established already
You need to make sure you water the lawn heavily and you need to make sure that the gluten dissolves. I do this by doing a water, then going over the wet pellets again, and they dissolve.
This product may be more ideal if it were a powder, but I am not sure.
You will need many bags, if you have a decent-sized lawn. I used a Scotts spreader on a 6 setting and went over the lawn twice.
If you put this down in early spring and early fall, over time, the weeds will eventually reduce greatly. After one spring application, we have less weeds, but still have a couple of seasons until we see a huge change.
That’s okay, our lawn is lush after a nice mow. It is also non-toxic.
We couple this with the Fiskars weed grabbing tool for dandelions, and we have a healthy lawn that we feel is preserving the health of the Earth, too.
Bare feet = safe to run and play, with no chemicals.
So, I decided, we must need a lot of this applied. I put down a good layer of the stuff.
DO NOT MAKE THIS MISTAKE.
So the next day I had bugs. Mostly flies. Not just some but a lot. And then the following day my garden had more flies than I have ever seen in one spot and exceeded that number by a lot! I cannot explain how many flies there were and still are out there.
I bought traps and they filled up after a day, and there were more flies. Flies everywhere. Then a few days later, all of the ground is moving a shifting, the ground is loaded with maggots. I have a maggot farm instead of a vegetable garden.
After a bit of googling I ran out to get diatomaceous earth as I don’t want poison in my garden.
Please flies go away.
Oh, and I’m infested with weeds now that I skipped a few days.
TLDR; if this stops weeds, it doesn’t stop much. Maybe it works on some types and not others? And this attracts bugs. A lot of them.
