When I planted my garden this Spring I sprinkled Preen all over it to

having good luck growing are huge onions, My tomatoes and peppers look
sickly and
my green beans and cucumbers came up and died. Do you think Preen caused
this or do you think I have a fungus all over the garden? Some of the
tomatoes I think are coming out of it and may make it with a late crop.
Thanks
for your help.




What is in this Preen? What does it supposedly do? The only product I know
of that name is to cleanser to spray dirty clothes.

It works like corn gluten to keep seeds from germinating.
