QuestionHello Long Island Gardener,
Thank you for your post about what to do with a bunch of weeds perpertrating as a lawn. I will get my soil tested and be back with more questions. My first task, however, is to find that corn gluten weed killer. I called several garden centers and no one seems to have it. My zip code is 23503. Thanks!
Maria

Tell these people: The Earth Is Round!
Call before driving off into the sunset - they may have SOME of these products but not all of them. And don't worry that your phone call was wasted. They'll get it eventually. But CALL. Don't waste your gas!

I can only imagine the looks on their faces when you tried to explain what you were looking for.
Don't worry. Next year go in and you can remind them: "You heard it here first." Maybe you'll get a discount.
Good luck and keep me posted.
