Arett Sales Preen Garden Weed Preventer 2463802 - Liquid Herbicide - 31.3 lbs

When spring comes, I weed my garden with a weed pole, easy, pick up some big ones, plant my new annuals and apply preen. No weeds grow. After a few weeks I turn my soil a bit with my weed tool and apply again. I love it. I like a weed free garden bed.

My husband and I absolutely love Weed Preventer, we have flower beds completely surrounding our home and Preen is the only product we use to keep control of weeds. Our beds are mulched but we Preen a few times a year and NEVER have to get on our hands and knees to weed! We recommend this product to everyone who loves gardening as much as we do! The most enjoyable part is sitting back and looking at the flower beds.

I am an avid gardener, so I have plenty of places to spread Preen. I've used it for years in my perennial gardens, under shrubbery borders in front of the house, and in the vegetable garden. It works! You may get a few weeds that were already sowing, but they are easy to pull out. Apply as per directions, water in, and use at least 2xs in the growing season (early spring, mid summer). It's somewhat costly, but it's worth it! When you get up there in age, you'll do whatever is necessary to save your knees!

Gardening has been my passion for the past 40+ years. As I grow older I can do longer weed my Garden because of arthritis and other ailments. Using Preen cuts down on my weeding by 90%. Two applications, one in April and the second in July seems to do the trick. Preen has enabled me to continue with my beloved gardening. I only wish that I used Preen in my younger years instead of all the bending and time spent on my knees.

Preen works. It's not perfect as it's important to remember to put it down before there are chances of weeds starting to germinate, and if it were perfect, I wouldn't have to remember to do this in time! LOL. I have a steep hill which has been a nightmare to weed; actually somewhat dangerous it's so steep. I started using Preen every winter (I live in CA where weeds mainly grow in the winter) regularly to control the germination of weeds around the existing plantings. It gradually worked better and better. I've been using it for about 10 years now. I think over that time the weed seed bank has been exhausted and now weeding each year on this area, which used to take about 20 hours per year, now takes about 20' or less. Many people may not realize that pre-emergents actually kill the seeds. They don't stop the seeds from germinating; they kill them after they start germinating. This is ideal because over time, it will gradually kill all the weed seeds in the soil surface. A key is to not till or otherwise disturb the soil because you'll just keep bringing new seeds up to the surface and you'll never get rid of all the weeds. Preen is expensive, but it has saved my lower back and knees. Well worth it. Oh and it has never appeared to hurt any of the existing desirable plantings. I wrote this review because I saw a bunch of one star reviews and actually got a bit mad. This is a good product and it can help deal with overwhelming weeding situations. I didn't want other people to think it didn't work. It's just that, like with any herbicide, there are instructions that need to be followed carefully and the target weeds and the timing of application are critical to success.

It doesn't kill weeds but it does keep them from germinating. Weed once then your work is limited after that. The only problem I have is when I forget to put it on.

Order came the following day. Exactly what i expected. Very satisfied.

We have rock landscaping and large trees in our yard and the neighbors, these trees have thousands of twirled seed pods that come down, preen does not work on these, on weeds seeds it works great, on tree seed pods I don't think it does any good, so for what I need it for it does not work any suggestions? Even spraying with roundup and weed be gone I have to spray 2 to 3 times to kill these when they sprout!

I applied this to my front yard, I had a few weeds, I applied a little bit to a small area, killed the grass and made the weeds grow, I'm not sure if it knows the difference between good grass and a bad weed. Not real happy, probably will not use it again, its going to take a while for my grass to come back, or be replaced.

I applied Preen to a myrtle bed to hopefully prevent Japanese stilt grass from emerging. Killed my myrtle. I will have to have landscaper plant grass or cover with landscaping stones.
