I finally gave up this spring and I am using preen after I weed an area. Tired of fighting weeds that reseed so prolifically. Hoping this works so I can spend more time enjoying my gardens and less time weeding :)

I don't know about you all, but I have a hard time just going out and sitting down on the swing or a bench and just enjoying the view. My eye always goes to that weed that needs to be pulled, lol So invariably it's back in the house, get the garden gloves and start weeding :)

Yes, ripley, that's how a gardener relaxes alright! ha

I've never used Preen, was always curious about it though. Does it leave colored "pebbles" on top of the soil?

I hate shotweed! I didn't know that was what it was called but I hate it with a passion. It's so fast to flower that it's hard to catch before it drops seed, then next thing you know you've got a multitude of the little buggers. I have noticed that it's relatively easy to pick after a rain because the roots are somewhat shallow. Now I'm reminded that I need to go pull the ones that I didn't get to last week. :P
