Hi, my name is Kees Boer. I live in North Central Florida. I grow cacti in a
elevated well drained bed. I am in the process of redoing the bed. It has quite a bit of weeds in it, and now the cacti are all gone. Someone told me that there is a product, which when you apply it to the bed, it will take all of the weeds out for at least three months. I wanted to apply it to the beds, before I replant all the cacti. Does anyone know what product this is? Also, how long should I wait to plant the cacti after I applied the weedkiller, so that the weedkiller in the ground won't kill the cacti? Thanks! Kees |

You have to pull any live weeds that are in the bed first. Preen doesn't hurt established plants, just seed. -- Nowadays it just don't pay to be a good ol' boy. |

It sounds like you're talking about Preen. You have to pull any live weeds that are in the bed first. Preen doesn't hurt established plants, just seed. You can use Roundup to get rid of the existing weeds and plant a week later. Preen will prevent new weeds from germinating for a few months. You may want to check to be sure its ok for cactus, it's intended for general use in landscape beds. |

The patent on Roundup has expired and now you can buy the chemically-identical product at a much cheaper price. Kill All is one product; there are others, but I don't remember the names. Yep, just look for the active ingredient Glyphosate. Beware of the cheapest product, because it will contain less active ingredient. Read the label before you buy. |
