I am glad you like our new healthy lawn factsheet. I have double checked all of our sources and have actually again found both answers from very reputable sources! We will review this with our technical advisory team and correct the pH!
On the corn gluten. We ran out of room for more information and I also hesitated because I wanted to keep the focus on the soil and lawn care practices, and the root causes of the weeds. Too often we find folks looking for a solution in a bag or a bag to bag replacement.
Thank you again for your blog.

In the chart, dandelion has a L ‘low’ under pH. In the reading, however, it says dandelions do well with a pH of 7.5, which is high or alkaline. Which is it? I would think the table is correct.
You could mention corn gluten as weed control. We’ve been using it for years and it is especially good at preventing crabgrass, if applied at the right time.
