I overheard somene talking about a weed management system

Where they hire a company to come over 8 times a year and fertilize with some type of non toxic granules, ( i think it is corn based) and it prevents the weeds from propagating.

Does any one have any more info on this at all?

thanks

Here is my weed control. Cheap and gives some exercise.
Weed Puller

This marvelous device is utilized for pulling weeds, mostly dandelions. It actually works and is effortless to use. Price $29.95. Don't leave home without it.
