Just to add--that perennial weeds are not affected by PREEN either.
So--you are likely to see some weeds coming up anyway.

I mention this--as my neighbor, Olga, will pay someone a lot of $$$ to weed all her beds--
and then fusses that it did not work--the weeds are all coming back, and that
the paid person did not do a good job.
She does not "get it" about the difference of perennial weeds and from=seed weeds....

Just a week or so ago--she paid the lawn Guy $$$ to put down 20 bags of mulch
in all her beds. He did. Then I brought her a jug of Preen and explained how it works.
Then she had "The Guy" sprinkle the Preen all over the mulch.

I HOPE xxx (fingers crossed) that this 3" layer of mulch will work.
I don't want to hear her bitching when she never sets foot pout in her garden
and does not weed anything. Many times I weed the bed facing my house---
as it gets disgusting!
There is this one weed--with broad leaves--that fills her bed every year.
They pull up so easily--just a small tug.

What is this weed???? I don't have it in my yard anywhere--and we are just 20' apart.
