Nursery guy was very emphatic that I put down "pre-emergent" whatchacallit AFTER the flat is in. Says I'll be sorry if I don't as weeds will (my term) overwhelm the ground cover.



I've never used this stuff, so nervous about putting it on top of the Dymondia.



Any experience out there?

Still VERY confused. Directions on pe-emergent package say to apply around/to? ESTABLISHED PLANTS. But I just put in a flat of Dymondia, leaving the recommended spaces between plants to fill in. When can these little guys be considered "established"??? If I want to control putative weeds in between plants, don't I need to apply NOW before weeds sprout? I.E., strew between plants. But are plants "established"? Not nitpicking words; genuinely confused.

Help!
