Weeds around shrubs...
      #838735 - 09/03/09 08:48 AM

OK! I admit it... I'm not a farmer!! My neighbor, who is about 147 yrs old, said theres something I can put down to curb, or eliminate weeds around shrubs.. is he right?
If so, what is it... he doesn't remember! LOL!
I do know it's a chemical, and not just mulch!!

If you already use Crabgrass Control Granules in your yard, that works too. With either product, it prevents seeds from growing, so it won't work with existing weeds and if you plant flower seeds, they won't sprout.

I conned one of my DIL and gkids to pull all the existing weeds.. then I'll spread the Preen... However it would be cheaper to pull the weeds myself.. Feeding this crew is a killer!!

What? Feed them? You just don't wanna give up a sandwich...

Don't forget to re-apply in the spring.

Remember safety ! Dennis
When using lawn-care products
`` read the packaging```
``` to ensure safety for animals```
Or just treat
````those helpers to a``` treated ```
`````````mulch sanny``

Natural Mulch keeps me` Weedies` down
and makes them easy to pull if and when they try
to stick their heads up ..through the mulch
Of course you prolly don't have any`` pets`` other
than ```dat dare little`` pet peeve wit```Harold
