Gardening Gifts FAQ:
still wet and cold my garden will not be planted until the end of May. But by then it will be filled with weeds. Can I apply corn gluten now and then till it under in May without hurting my first planting? Or just fight the weeds until my plants are 5 inches tall?

Corn Gluten is a pre-emergent; meaning it wont kill any existing weeds it just keeps the new weeds from sprouting. You can apply the gluten now, but I wouldn’t use it in any beds that you’ll be starting seeds in. It’s safe for beds that will be planted with starter size plants or existing plants.
