Turffix Plus® Lawn Fertilizer with Corn Gluten Meal
Turffix Plus® is a premium
fertilizer that combines the proven performance of Turffix® with
the special qualities of 60% protein Corn Gluten Meal. The nutrients include
a guaranteed analysis of 9.5 % nitrogen plus micronutrients calcium, copper,
iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur and
zinc in a plant available form. Applying Turffix
Plus® lawn fertilizer at a rate of one 10 kg. bag
for 90 square metres provides a nitrogen rich blended fertilizer including
20 pounds per 1000 square feet of Corn Gluten Meal, (as recommended by
Dr. Nick Christians of the horticultural department of Iowa State University
– (see www.hort.iastate.edu/gluten).
Turffix Plus® is a natural, all plant source multigrain fertilizer that delivers a new, rich balance of lawn essential nutrients.
Do not apply Turffix Plus® in an area or application where you are trying to germinate new seeds as Corn Gluten Meal (that is at least 60% protein) has been found to exhibit a pre-emergent herbicidal effect on a number of plant species. For establishing a new lawn, we recommend Turffix® Lawn and Garden Fertilizer. Remember: Corn Gluten Meal has a herbicidal effect only on germinating seeds. For established plants, it is a high nitrogen natural fertilizer that makes all plants green and healthy.
Although the Corn Gluten Meal has these other unique properties, it is still
a high protein, natural grain product that is safe to handle, safe for pets,
wildlife, and people. It is a very effective lawn fertilizer that is nitrogen
rich, yet sweet to the environment. This product does not translocate
readily into your local waterways. Turffix Plus® is an excellent choice
where there are concerns about the eutrophication (nutrient pollution)
of bodies of water, or if birds, or wildlife have access to your property.
Turffix Plus® can be safely applied in areas where children or pets have
immediate access. (If a child has known severe allergic reactions to contact
with natural grain meals, water the lawn a couple of times after you have
applied Turffix Plus® to dissolve the fertilizer into the soil, and monitor
the reaction of that child. We are aware of no known medical case like
this, but proceed with an abundance of safety.)
Store any unused portion in a dry place to prevent spoilage.
