       Weeds in the lawn?

            "Weed AND Feed" products containing 2,4-D are no longer available.***

 

            Chemical weed killers containing 2,4-D but without the "Feed" are still 

            available for use on your lawn.  Products we carry include:

                            Scotts Ortho Killex

                            Lawn WeedOut (Wilson)

 

            A selective weed killer without 2,4-D is also available:

                            Scotts EcoSense Weed-B-Gon

 

            Synthetic-chemical free fertilizers with corn gluten are being sold in place

            of "Weed & Feed" but it should be noted that corn gluten is NOT a weed

            killer.  Corn gluten acts a pre-emergence herbicide meaning it prevents

            new weeds from germinating but does not kill existing weeds.

            Products containing corn gluten that we carry include:

                            Turf Revolution Grassy Gold 9-0-0 with Corn Gluten

                            Turffix Plus 9.5-0-0 Natural Fertilizer with Corn Gluten Meal
