Compost Tea and Corn Gluten Lawn Care
Our fragile first year lawn needed some nutrition and because of its proximity to the lake we were hesitant to use chemicals. We found Patrick Hoosier, the owner of Applied Organics, Anchorage, Alaska, who specialized in organic lawn maintenance and hired him to fertilize and kill weeds. First he spread Corn Gluten to kill all the weed seeds sown this year. He advised we would have to hand-pull all the weeds that were germinated last year. Then, he applied Compost Tea to fertilize.
