User questions & answers

Question:	how quickly can you plant after application
Answer:	Treated areas can be replanted anytime after the application.
Question:	When killing grass between bricks in patio will it spread to surrounding lawn and kill grass
Answer:	Ortho GroundClear Weed and Grass Killer should not spread to other parts of your lawn, as it does not readily move through the soil.
Question:	What product kills ivy
Answer:	Any herbicide with the chemical Triclopyr will kill Ivy. You can also buy Triclopyr concentrate on Amazon. I dilute the concentrate I bought at the rate of 4oz to a gallon in a tank sprayer and that kills Ivy. It also kills broadleaf weeds and can damage some trees so be careful in avoiding wind drift while spraying. I prefer to use the stream setting on my sprayer.
Question:	How long will the batteries last? ... a season
Answer:	I don’t know the shelflife on these batteries. I do know, they have always allowed me to use the whole jug. The longest I have had a jug was three years.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this kill Japanese Knotweed
Answer:	So far, it is doing great damage to my JK, but it's advised to WAIT and spray in the fall when it's in full flower. This is when the plant will carry the poison down to the root. If you spray earlier in the season when it's growing, you'll just kill the foliage and it will grow back again. I'll know more next season, but after a year and a half of failed mechanical control, this seems to be working! The hard part is waiting and letting it flourish until it flowers!
Question:	How many square feet does it kill
Answer:	John, thank you for your question regarding Roundup Ready-To-Use Weed & Grass Killer III -- with Pump 'N Go 2 Sprayer, Use in & Around Vegetable Gardens, Tree Rings, Flower Beds, Patios & More, Kills to the Root, 1.33 gal. The coverage is 400 square feet for the entire 1.33 gallon container.
Question:	how to get a better pump replacement
Answer:	I gave up on this because of the pump and cost of the ready to use solution. I went with a 1 gal Chapin 20000 sprayer and I buy the concentrate for it. Much more economical, results are as good and the sprayer is more reliable.
Question:	I followed every instruction exactly and the motor turns on, but nothing comes out. What could I be doing wrong
Answer:	That just happened to me as well. I realized in my case that the red connector wasn't pushed all the way into the top. I set the bottle down on the ground and with all my weight pushed it in and then it locked in and the chemical came right out. It had to be flush against the top of the bottle to actually come out. Hope that made sense.

Question:	How long do I need to wait to plant
Answer:	Thank you for your inquiry! There is no waiting time required. Please be advised that during the 2 - 3 months the product is active in the soil, you do not want Preen granules to contact the roots of those plants as you place them in the transplant holes. We suggest you scrape the top layer of soil away from the area and dig the hole. Set the plant into the hole and backfill with untreated soil or a bagged garden soil. You may then distribute the treated soil you moved aside back around the plant . If Preen granules come in direct contact with plant roots, it can stunt the root development.
Question:	Should i spread this at.the end of the season for spring planting or wait till.spring
Answer:	If you are planting seeds wait until they sprout. This and other forms of Preen prevent seeds from coming up. If you plant seedlings or plants I would spread now and after planting in Spring.
Question:	Which is better, spread product and then plant or plant first then spread Preen
Answer:	My only experience is with bushes- I spread then plant. I don’t know about smaller plants like flowers- I don’t know how preen effects sprouting. I love this all natural corn gluten preen- it’s safe for my pets and the small wildlife in my yard.

Double the weed-fighting power of mulch

Ironically, the very act of preparing a vegetable garden encourages weeds. Turning and tilling the soil, and creating the furrows in which to plant vegetable seeds, exposes these dormant weed seeds to the light they need to germinate and grow. Few gardeners know that there’s an organic pre-emergent option for vegetable gardens that can effectively double the weed-fighting power of mulch - Preen Vegetable Garden Organic Weed Preventer.

Pre-emergents don’t kill weeds, they’re weed preventers

Apply Preen Vegetable Garden Organic Weed Preventer anytime during the growing season around established vegetables, herbs, and fruits. Since this product does not kill existing weeds, you must first remove any that have already begun to grow. By applying Preen Vegetable Garden Organic Weed Preventer as early as possible, you can eliminate the need for hand weeding. Reapply every 4 – 6 weeks.

Use carefully if planting seeds in garden

It’s important to remember that pre-emergent weed preventers don’t distinguish between weed seeds and vegetable seeds. Gardeners planting vegetable seeds should apply pre-emergent once their young vegetable plants are fully-emerged, have attained a height of close to three inches and exhibit what are called 'true leaves' (the stage beyond the initial leaf-like furls that tiny sprouts put out).

Safe for use around children and pets

Preen Vegetable Garden Weed Preventer is an easy-to-apply granular corn gluten option, which comes in a jug-handled bottle with a flip-top shake applicator. The container is reusable with the same product. Preen Vegetable Garden Organic Weed Preventer prevents crabgrass, dandelions and other common listed weeds by inhibiting the root development in seedlings. Children and pets can play in the area immediately after application. Please read and follow directions on the product label and use only as directed.

User questions & answers

Question:	I can't get the top open - any suggestions
Answer:	I used silicone grips. I use them for lots of jar opening. Did you check to see if it’s cross threaded? Maybe defective?
Question:	Will it effect black-eyed susans? I have crab grass growing within clusters of flowering plants I would like something to kill the crabgrass
Answer:	Crow, are you sure it is crab grass? I don't know your location but In Pennsylvania that appears later in the summer. And basically "the horse is out of the barn" with those weeds. I would not put any thing for weeds until after your flowers are finished blooming. Right now your best bet is to "get down and dirty" and continually cut those weeds with a scissors or shears. Pulling the weeds out will most likely pull out your flowers' root base also. Next season do a pre-emptive strike on the weeds. Best wishes.
Question:	can you apply this to your garden before you plant your seeds, or will it hurt the germenation for the seelings
Answer:	I apply it in fall when I clear garden area. In spring i apply after seedlings are growing about 2-4 inches. Then I apply about inch or so from seedlings. directions on product day not to apply until seedlings are established. I've never applied to ground in spring before planting -
Question:	Can I use on grass
Answer:	Thank you for your inquiry! Preen Natural Vegetable Garden Weed Preventer cannot be used on grass/lawns. This product is only meant to be used in gardens.

OMRI Listed and approved for Organic Gardening, this weed killer can be applied virtually anywhere to kill weeds while maintaining the health of your soil and surrounding vegetation.

Unlike synthetic chemical herbicides, Safer Fast Acting Weed and Grass Killer kills only those weeds on which it is sprayed and does not move through the soil affecting other nearby plants. This unique biodegradable formula breaks down in the soil after 5-7 days without leaving any harmful residuals.

Natural Ingredients Kill Weeds Organically

Safer Brand Fast Acting Weed and Grass Killer Spray kills using potassium salts of fatty acids - all-natural plant extracts toxic to most weeds and grasses in high concentrations, but harmless to people and pets when applied as directed. Often used as food additives, potassium salts of fatty acids are biodegradable - breaking down naturally in the soil - and they do not affect non-target plants, flowers or edibles.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will it hurt my ground cover sedums
Answer:	I sprinkle Preen over established plants and it hasn't hurt them. Preen prevents seeds from germinating, it does not kill the weeds already sprouted.
Question:	Will Preen kill nettles
Answer:	Preen keeps seeds from germinating. If nettle drop seeds then yes. If they are perennials and come up from existing roots then ‘no.’
Question:	can you use it around pets
Answer:	Yes, it is completely safe around pets. I put in the soil around shrubs in a flower bed and my back yard and my dog goes in and around those shrubs frequently.
Question:	Are there any tips on using this? I used it once over 10 years ago and it killed my impatiens. I never used it again
Answer:	I have used preen for many years and never sustained damage to mature plants. I use approximately 25 lbs annually. I begin before the temperatures warm. The last couple of weeks we received in excess of 15 inches of rain. Some of the areas that I applied preen, there was the beginning of weed shots. I re applied preen to those areas and lightly applied round up on the weeds. In closing, Preen has saved me hundreds of hours over the years.

Ideal for fence rows, gravel paths, sidewalks, driveways, parking areas and around farm buildings and barns Apply to locations only where no vegetation is desired Can be used for total vegetation control (bare-ground) or spot control of brush, vines and weeds
Question:	Does anyone know if this will work on bamboo? Yes, loose in the years. Ugh. Thanks
Answer:	Ok there are two rates on the label. One is 6 ounces per gallon for spot treatments and the other is confusing and is more for spraying large areas. It says to use 7.4 ounces in 1 to 10 gallons of water and to spray that over 1000 square feet. Basically what that means is use whatever water between 1-10 gallons that it takes you to cover 1000 square feet at the pace you are working and the rate your sprayer is putting out spray. What is important is that you get 7.4 ounces of chemical over 1000 square feet. Call us at 800-264-5281 if you have any questions.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used for pomegranate plants
Answer:	Pomegranate plants or trees can use this fertilizer, since their needs are similar, but I read that a 8-8-8 formula would be better formulation. This fertilizer ,Miracle Grow Shake'n'feed for citrus is 13-7-13.
Question:	Has anyone used this product on avocado trees
Answer:	I am a science teacher and have grown many Avocados from a pit, and have only used this product. Many of my trees are 1-4 years old and doing better than expected.
Question:	What is the NPK ratio for this fertilizer
Answer:	The NPK is 8-2-12
Question:	What is the n-p-k ratio of this product? why are we having to ask this, this is basic
Answer:	A 12-4-8 NPK ratio is not a good formula for tomato fruit production. It's OK to give it this when the plant is small, but you will not get a good tomato crop if you continue with this ratio. Fruit production requires more phosphorus than this fertilizer can provide. I always have excellent fruit production with 10-10-10.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have some OLD Preen. Maybe 3 or 4 years old. Will it still work
Answer:	shelf life of herbicides varies from product to product, but if they are kept in good storage conditions (above freezing, not too hot, dry etc.) they generally last for years. An inquiry to the manufacturer will give specific advice.
Question:	Will preen prevent spring bulbs (daffodils and tulips) from coming up
Answer:	My 18 tulip bulbs and 6 hyacinth bulbs were all beginning to show their beautiful colors and my hyacinths were producing a wonderful smell ---then my gardener put Preen all over the bed and everyone single one of my 23 healthy ,just emerging bulbs ,died overnight as well as my ground cover planted at the edge of my garden. All dead!!! What's left of them looks as though they were burned, their dead shafts are shades of white laying lifeless in my garden..

Remove Existing Weeds

Remove any existing weeds, taking care to remove their roots. Preen garden products do not kill existing weeds, they prevent them.

Mulch the Area

A three-inch layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture, keeps soil temperature even and looks nice and tidy. Mulch also has preventative properties of its own, assisting Preen in keeping weeds away.

Apply Preen

Sprinkle Preen on top of mulch. Apply when the garden is dry so Preen granules won’t stick to wet plant leaves.

Water To Activate

After applying Preen, water the granules to release ingredient that forms an invisible barrier that blocks weeds beneath the surface.
