I weed my 300 square foot garden every day so imagine how excited I
was for this product. $15.00 and 2 weeks later what a disappointment. At first I think I used too little so I made sure everything green but the plants were cleared out of the space. Then I re applied more densely. Still weeds. Based on the directions the granules are supposed to stay on top of the soil so I amended how I pull weeds trying to not bury the stuff. Still weeds. If there is anyone who can tell me I have done something wrong, please do., If there is anyone still debating buying this product, I would say don't bother. Off to weed the garden, MJ |

I no longer use chemicals on my lawn, I want a pet safe lawn. Most weed preventers must be put down after a rain or early morning dew. The grass must be wet for the chemicals to stick to the weeds for them to do it's job. Weed preventers take a week or two for them to it's job. Read the label if this the case for preen. Most fertilizers need to be put down dry, just before a light rain so the fertilizers can be soaked into the ground. A heavy rain may wash the stuff away. Did you apply these methods? -- Enjoy Life... Nad R (Garden in zone 5a Michigan) |

Nad R *(Garden in zone 5a Michigan) While grass( not crab but something awful) is one of my biggest problems I wasn't expecting Preen to do anything about that. It is all the other stuff I thought it would help. I suppose I could be being impatient but its not going anywhere so maybe it will work a bit eventually. It has been 2 weeks since the first application, about 1 since the second. |
