Safer Brand find Innovative new use for corn: Weed Control

03/03/2011

LITITZ, Pa., March 1st, 2011 -- It’s the springtime dilemma: Let dandelions and other weeds take over your yard and garden, or kill them with harmful chemicals, possibly putting your family and pets at risk. Today there is another option. Safer® Brand (a leader in organic gardening solutions) has introduced corn-based Concern® Weed Prevention Plus®, an all-natural weed control solution that is not only up to 90% effective on dandelions and crabgrass in the very first year, but will not leave harmful residuals in your lawn.

 

Powered by corn gluten meal, Concern® Weed Prevention Plus® (http://www.saferbrand.com/store/garden-care/97185) comes in a 25 pound bag providing you with 1500 sq. ft of natural weed prevention. Concern® Weed Prevention Plus® contains no synthetic ingredients and unlike traditional synthetic formulas, your children and pets can play on the lawn immediately after application. The product’s corn-gluten meal formulation results in pellets that evenly distribute nutrients and kill weeds without burning grass or fragile plants.

 

“Weed Prevention Plus® stops weeds and dandelions before they start,” stated Justin Emig, Safer® Brand category development associate. “Consumers can feel confident using it in their flowerbeds, in landscaped areas around trees, shrubs and ornamentals, and even in vegetable gardens.”

 

Weed Prevention Plus® works by killing the roots of sprouting seeds before they take hold, ensuring the weed will never grow. For this reason, Safer® Brand recommends waiting to apply Weed Prevention Plus® until seeded lawn, gardens and flowers are firmly established. On mature lawns, Weed Prevention Plus® should be applied early in the spring, around a month before the weeds begin to sprout. For most gardeners, blooming crocus and daffodils are a good indicator that it’s time to apply Weed Prevention Plus®.

 

Weed Prevention Plus® is the latest in a long line of natural, organic pest and weed control solutions from Safer® Brand. The wide variety of articles, advice and other resources provided at SaferBrand.com demonstrates the company’s dedication to supporting organic gardening. For direct interaction with the experts at Safer® Brand, consumers can even visit the Safer® Brand Facebook page, where organic gardeners exchange ideas and gardening success stories, get tips, and view how-to videos to learn how to keep their gardens and plants healthy and weed-free year-round.

 

Now is the time to order Weed Prevention Plus®, and to encourage consumers to do just that, Safer® Brand is currently offering free ground shipping on orders over $45.
