Ask The Expert
Our knowledgeable staff here at Garden-Ville are available to answer many of the questions you might have about gardens, landscaping, and trees. Many problems with plants, however, cannot be responsibly diagnosed other than in person. We're located in central Texas and may not be familiar with the details of gardening in very different climate or soil zones. One of the guiding principles of organic growing is adapting methods to the particularites of local soil and climate. With that in mind we'll do our best to answer your question, but if we can't we'll be happy to help you find the appropriate resources or professionals in your area.

Last spring our St Augustine was taken over by chickweed and I thought I'd lose my beautiful yard. I pulled weeds for months and finally the grass became thick again. I was told to use a pre emergent to avoid the same problem for next year. Do you recommend the corn meal gluten? Where do I purchase it? I don't see it on the garden ville website. Also, I have many roses. How often should I feed them and what do you suggest to keep the leaves healthy and dark green? I only want safe products since I have pets and many birds in my yard.

Yes, Garden-Ville sells corn gluten meal. Because G-V does not manufacture corn gluten, we do not list it on our website. Corn gluten meal should be applied when the weed you are trying to prevent from seeding in your lawn has brown seeds on it. Apply a solid fine layer on your grass and the seeds that fall in the corn gluten meal will not be able to form roots. Corn gluten meal will also act as a nitrogen fertilizer for your lawn. Corn gluten meal does nothing for existing weeds in the yard.
Garden-Ville has a superb Rose food for your roses. The food was formulated by Malcolm Beck and the San Antonio Rosarians. The primary nutrients are derived from cottonseed meal, alfalfa meal, fish meal, kelp meal, guano meal, molasses and greensand. I enjoy this product on all my flowering, fruiting and vegetable plants. All ingredients are natural.
