Don't believe what the big companies tell you, your grass does not need that much nitrogen, especially if you are trying to do lawn care the natural way. Corn gluten is a by product of corn processing and they found that weeds did not grow under and around the piles. It was not specifically developed to be a natural pre-emergent, it's just a way for them to make money from this waste product. You can contact me at Urban Arborist if you want more info.

Since bloom time is weather-dependent, we can't tell you in advance exactly when either will bloom, but our web site (http://www.mortonarb.org/whats-in-bloom.html has a bloom and color site that will tell you when everything is blooming. It will updated regularly when it gets a little warmer. Hope that helps! Dear HJ:
