Has anyone used Preen? It claims to stop weeds, does it work?


Yes, but make sure you follow the instructions. Don't put it anywhere
you are going to plant seeds. Wait until after they have sprouted. I
am thinking about putting it down pretty soon where my tomato plants
are going.

Why not use newsprint and mulch to suppress weeds? It works well for me,
and keeps the worms happy.

The mulch distributor suggested Preen when I told him that the horse
bedding mulch that I bought from him last year was full of pokeweed seeds.
