What Is All-Natural Organic Corn Gluten?
Corn gluten is a natural byproduct of corn processing that offers powerful benefits for lawn and landscape health. When used properly, it serves as both a natural pre-emergent weed suppressant and a mild, nitrogen-rich fertilizer. Unlike synthetic chemicals or harsh herbicides, organic corn gluten is safe, environmentally friendly, and ideal for eco-conscious homeowners who want a lush, green lawn without compromising soil health—or pet safety.

​

At Electric Lawn Company, we use all-natural corn gluten as part of our commitment to sustainable landscaping that truly works with nature—not against it.

​

The Benefits of Using Corn Gluten in Your Lawn or Garden
✔ Natural Weed Suppression
Corn gluten contains proteins that prevent root formation in newly germinated weed seeds, helping stop weeds before they start—without damaging established plants or grasses.

✔ Gentle, Organic Fertilizer
Packed with nitrogen (about 10%), corn gluten gives your lawn a boost of slow-release nutrition, encouraging thicker, greener growth over time.

✔ 100% Natural and Chemical-Free
No synthetic additives, dyes, or toxins—just pure, plant-based material. Safe for kids, pets, pollinators, and the planet.

✔ Soil Health Support
Unlike synthetic herbicides, corn gluten doesn’t harm beneficial microbes or disrupt your soil’s natural balance. It enriches the soil while it works.

✔ Safe for Use in Edible Gardens
Because it’s derived from corn, this product can be safely used around vegetable beds and fruiting plants when applied responsibly.

​

How We Use It
At Electric Lawn Company, we apply all-natural corn gluten as part of soil preparation or turf care programs—especially in early spring and early fall, when weed seeds are most likely to germinate. It’s an ideal companion product when prepping areas for new sod, improving existing lawns, or reconditioning tired garden beds.

​

A Better Alternative to Traditional Weed Control
Conventional weed killers often rely on harsh chemicals that can leach into groundwater, damage surrounding plant life, and pose risks to pets and children. Organic corn gluten, on the other hand, provides targeted weed suppression without harmful side effects—making it an ideal solution for today’s eco-minded property owners.

​

What to Expect
While corn gluten is not an instant weed killer, its effects are cumulative and consistent with regular use. Over time, you’ll notice:

• Fewer weeds emerging in treated areas

• A richer, greener lawn thanks to added nitrogen

• Improved soil structure and microbial activity

• Greater peace of mind knowing your landscape is safe and natural

 

Safe, Smart, and Sustainable
Whether you're installing new sod, enhancing a garden bed, or looking for a natural alternative to chemical weed control, corn gluten is a versatile and effective tool in creating a healthy landscape. And when applied by professionals who understand timing, dosage, and application methods, its benefits are even more powerful.
