PREEN - does it work?
Does PREEN really work? What about PREEN with fertilizer? I see Miracle Crow now has same products. Is this a clue to say it DOES work? Would like opinions before I jump in. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Will Renkel Wheaton, Ill.

PREEN - does it work?
Preen works exactly as it is intended to - it is a premergent herbicide
that will prevent seeds (any, not just weeds) from fully germinating. It has no effect on existing weeds, which must be removed prior to application. The effects can last upto 4-6 months. I would avoid combo products - they tend to be counterproductive and often the timing is off for one of the applications. pam - gardengal Will Renkel wrote: Does PREEN really work?

PREEN and all the other "weed preventers" can kill some types of plants. Swan Island Dahlias warns Dahlia growers NEVER to use any type of herbicides around Dahlias. You should ALWAYS read the label before applying anything around your plants. -- Bill R.

PREEN - does it work?
I used PREEN&GREEN this year for the first time and I have to say I really love this stuff. I applied it after I mulched then watered it in twice. Once one day then a little more the next. Re-applied after one month right before a rain. I cannot speak about the effect of the slow release fertilizer but I can say I have darn near zero weeds and my flowers are doing quite well. The annuals I used it on are in the same beds as perrenial flowers and shrubs like lilies, asytum (sp), Azelia, Holley, and Stella-Dorra Lily. Make sure you weed very well and chop up the soil before you apply. Next year I think I'll try just the straight PREEN and see if there is a differance. I'll either fertilize with a watering can or buy a seperate slow release fertilizer. Best of Luck! sparkie Zone 6 On Fri, 1 Aug 2003 14:01:07 +0000 (UTC), (Will Renkel) wrote: Does PREEN really work?

PREEN - does it work?
it works great on grass, but really only in the spring when the weed seeds are
germinating. I sure wouldnt use it anywhere you want flower seeds to germinate... many of mine come back every year from seeds.

And a bag of this is a lot cheaper than a box of Preen. -al sung Rapid Realm Technology, Inc. Hopkinton, MA (Zone 6a) |
