Since it’s the first warm day of the year in my parts, thoughts are turning to the outdoors and gardening. And that is as good an excuse as any to start highlighting some natural gardening products we missed in our Canada Blooms post-off a couple of weeks back.

First up, Environmental Factor’s TurfMaize. TurfMaize is a pre-emergent weed seed germination inhibitor, packed with corn gluten. Corn gluten is a by-product of corn processing. And TurfMaize is thus an all-natural product, it won’t burn your lawn and is safe to use around pets and kids. Furthermore, as corn gluten breaks down, it becomes an organic source of nitrogen which will help keep your lawn green and promote strong roots.

An early spring application is recommended - so get to it!
