RE: Re: pre-emergent use

Jennifer:

Our garden buys alot of our stuff from catalogs. If this is an organic
product which would not leave a residue for a suceeding season ( the
gardener might want to grow spinach or winter wheat after the tomato season)
what catalog carries these corn gluten products?

Thanks,

Adam
