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

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.

Lazy *******, all you had to do was type "Preen" into Google;o)
Watch the lingo ya crusty old *******!
Have you actually checked google to see how it works differently in
different countrys?
If you use google aus then the first hit is:

I'm sure if I used the US version it might turn up something else.
Knowing the google does this can be VERY handy. I use google UK frequently
because I do a lot of research associated with the UK.
Who you callin' crusty?
I take your point, thanks. In the future when I go looking for European
movies, it should make things simpler.
Bit confusing though, last night I couldn't open the MSDS files on
Preen, so I came in via the Pesticide Action Network and came up with
Trifluralin, in varying amounts. Today the MSDS for Preen opens and they
say it is corn gluten!!?
Anyway, thanks for the info.
Got me looking

Strange as I used to do a search and get the search URL now all I can
post is this URL and the key word.
Seems stupid.
