Preen 4.93# Ext Control Garden Weed Preventer designed specifically for use around trees and shrubs and protects for up to six months, is made for killing perimeter pests. This product allows gardeners to keep their outdoor areas clean by ensuring that the plants are properly watered while receiving a sufficient amount of nutrients and sunshine without competing weeds.
How It Works
Using a scientifically engineered compound that prevents weed seeds from sprouting, this product prevents weed seeds from germinating. Preen creates a barrier on soil when it is applied. That barrier keeps weed seeds from receiving the moisture and warmth they require to grow.
- Application: Granules are applied to the soil.
- Activation: To activate the product, a light watering is needed.
- Barrier Formation: The active ingredients attach to weed seeds.
- Prevention: Weed seeds cannot grow, preventing weeds before they begin.
