Concern® Weed Prevention Plus® for Gardens

Weeds can ruin a garden in a variety of ways. Weeds can hog all of the nutrients given out by your compost and soil, causing your plants, fruits and veggies to suffer as a result. Weeds can also crowd out your plants and confine them to a space that will not allow them to grow and flourish. Concern Weed Prevention Plus for Gardens uses the power of Corn Gluten to prevent weeds from sprouting and robbing your plants of valuable nutrients.

Stop weeds and dandelions before they start with this natural product!

The Concern® Weed Prevention Plus® harnesses the power of corn gluten meal (100%), creating a powerful weed prevention fertilizer.  Up to 90% effective weed control in the first year on dandelions and crabgrass.

For use in flower gardens, vegetable gardens and in landscaped areas around trees, shrubs and ornamentals.  Will not burn.

Concern Weed Prevention Plus is composed of 100% granulated corn gluten meal. Children and pets can play on the lawn immediately after application

Since Concern Weed Prevention Plus kills only the root of sprouting seeds, it can be used with confidence around established plants, including transplants, flower beds, shrubs and roses. When your flower or vegetable sprouts have true leaves, it is safe to apply Weed Prevention Plus even up until the day of harvest.

Directions for Use:

Garden:

Prepare garden bed by turning under or pulling established leaves, then sprinkle around bedding plants, flowers or shrubs, Rake lightly into soil. Weed Prevention Plus works best if applied, watered in, and allowed to dry for 2-3 days. If excessive rain occurs, reapplication may be necessary. It keeps working 4-6 weeks. Reapply as needed. Do not apply on newly seeded areas. However, it can be used with confidence around transplants.

I loved this product. You have to use it right. Apply in the fall to stop weeds in the Spring. Apply it in the Spring to stop weeds in the fall. And apply it in the summer to stop weeds in the fall. It works year round for me on preventing new weeds.

The key is to apply it three times a year (spring when the daffodils are blooming, early summer, and fall) and to be diligent about it. If you apply it once, then, no, you're not going to get the best results. Do not, as another reviewer did, apply weed cloth and mulch over it. You're just wasting your money on weed cloth and on the pre-emergent. Weed cloth does not allow the soil to "breathe" properly and by that I mean, exchange oxygen and water as well as possible. Since it is a barrier to both natural decomposition as well as earthworms, it does not allow organic material such as mulch, leaves, and plant debris to get worked into the soil and enrich it.

Back to the Concern Weed Prevention, not only does it work, it is also safe to use around pets, people, and wildlife and will not contaminate bodies of water by run-off. It has the additional benefit of being a mild fertilizer since it also is a natural, slow-release form of nitrogen.
