Have weeds been a problem in your landscape beds in the past? Do you feel like once you finish weeding you just have to start again? Tackle that problem this year. Mulching your landscape beds can help reduce weeds and slow their growth, however mulch alone does not eliminate weeds. To help reduce weeds we recommend Preen. Preen does not kill existing weeds, but prevents new seeds from germinating. Your landscape plants will not have to share nutrients and water with weeds.
Apply Preen after your plants have germinated and are 2-3 inches tall. Apply in an even layer at 1 oz per 10 sq ft. across landscape beds. If the beds are mulched Preen should be applied on top of the mulch. Once applied, water in the Preen to form the control barrier. If this barrier is disturbed, movement of mulch or soil, erratic weed growth may occur.
