  • I put down squares of St Augustine in late September (not complete coverage). These are starting to produce runners & I put down 7-2-2 & plan on putting down compost next week, but I have alot of clover, especially in the areas where there is no grass. What can I do about this? When is the best time to put down corn meal gluten? Is this OK for the grass? Someone told me it's too late now & to wait until 2 weeks before spring weeds come up, but I'm not sure exactly when that will be. Thanks.

    Corn meal, Lawn Questions

    The corn gluten meal is strictly a pre-emergent herbicide, so it won't harm any established grass. All it does it kill germinating seeds. We recommend two applications a year, one in fall and one in spring. It may be a little late for fall application, although our weather around here has been such that there may be seeds germinating right now. If you water in the corn gluten meal (which you should) it'll prompt some germination too. I would apply again in late February or early March.
