Preventing Grassburs...Naturally

March is the time to to apply horticultural corn gluten to prevent grassburs.  Corn gluten is a natural non-selective pre-emergent which means that it prohibits all plant species from germinating from seed.  So don't apply it anywhere you want to grow plants from seeds such as gardens, wild flowers and flower beds.  You will notice significant reduction in grassburs the first year and vigilence for three years will get the population under control.  A nice benefit of corn gluten is that it is also a good organic fertilizer with 9-10 percent nitrogen...and of course it contains no harmful chemicals!  You may also want use it in your garden to prevent weeds once all plants are up and growing.  Application rate is 15 to 20 pounds per 1000 sq. ft. and it lasts for 10-12 weeks.  You may need to apply a second time in a wet summer and/or fall.  If dry, water it in to activate it.

  1. “When I was introduced to Mr. Lee Ben ( A Loan Officer), I was entering the market as a first time home buyer.My needs were a bit different and I had loads of questions, before he sent me my pre-approval letter, he called to speak with me about what it meant and what could change. He made himself available to me at pretty much any hour via email and texts, he was very responsive and knowledgeable. He’s also very straightforward, I explained to him what my expectations were in terms of closing time and other particulars. He said he would meet those expectations but he surpassed them. I closed so quickly my realtor and the seller of course were excited about that. But as a buyer I appreciated being walked through the process in a succinct yet thorough fashion. From pre-approval to closing- the journey was so seamless and I consider myself lucky because I’ve heard horror stories about the internet . I recommend A loan officer ben lee contact email: 247officedept@gmail.com & Whatsapp Number :+1-989-394-3740 to anyone looking for a loan in any market. Everything was handled electronically expediently and securely.
