No more weeding!!

Would Recommend

I love this product because it's easy to sprinkle over my flower beds and no new seeds germinate! As long as I remember to sprinkle it at the right intervals, I don't get weeds growing in my flower beds ever!! Its perfectly safe for all the existing plants as I get sloppy and sprinkle it on the leaves of the established or recently planted ones and they are just fine. I've been using it for years now and recommend it to all my friends. I'm older and love watching my flowers bloom, but my body...

Fairly good product

Would Recommend

This product does a fairly good job a keeping weeds from coming back. You do have to do a good job of removing all weeds and roots beforehand.

I will not know anything until the spring.

I am waiting to see if the Preen product I bought last Fall and spread it on the entire alley really works for 60 days on the label.

Nice application

Would Recommend

We just purchased this to tackle the weed problem in our backyard. Landscaper said to sprinkle this on to avoid future weeds. We only applied it once so far. Application process is easy to do and easy to follow from the written instruction. Results are TBD.
