Wasted money
Purchased your product for years and have never seen it work so poorly. I even reapplied and still am spending hours weeding my garden.
It's either a bad batch or they're reformulated and it's now a bad product.

Excellent Weed Preventer
I'm a PNW flower gardener and Preen works! It is truly a back and knee saver! Every January I check my flower beds for emerging weeds and moss & pull them out or hoe. Then immediately sprinkle Preen all over the clean soil avoiding emerging spring flower bulbs such as tulips, daffodils, iris, peonies, etc. Preen keeps my flower, herb and veggie beds weed free, especially before Easter when the spring flower "show" blooms! Many people stop by to walk thru my garden and always ask how I keep weeds out of the flower beds and I always recommend them to buy and regularly use Preen b/c it works! It's a winner!

Destroys weed seed bank!
Preen works. It's not perfect as it's important to remember to put it down before there are chances of weeds starting to germinate, and if it were perfect, I wouldn't have to remember to do this in time! LOL. I have a steep hill which has been a nightmare to weed; actually somewhat dangerous it's so steep. I started using Preen every winter (I live in CA where weeds mainly grow in the winter) regularly to control the germination of weeds around the existing plantings. It gradually worked better and better. I've been using it for about 10 years now. I think over that time the weed seed bank has been exhausted and now weeding each year on this area, which used to take about 20 hours per year, now takes about 20' or less. Many people may not realize that pre-emergents actually kill the seeds. They don't stop the seeds from germinating; they kill them after they start germinating. This is ideal because over time, it will gradually kill all the weed seeds in the soil surface. A key is to not till or otherwise disturb the soil because you'll just keep bringing new seeds up to the surface and you'll never get rid of all the weeds.
Preen is expensive, but it has saved my lower back and knees. Well worth it. Oh and it has never appeared to hurt any of the existing desirable plantings.
I wrote this review because I saw a bunch of one star reviews and actually got a bit mad. This is a good product and it can help deal with overwhelming weeding situations. I didn't want other people to think it didn't work. It's just that, like with any herbicide, there are instructions that need to be followed carefully and the target weeds and the timing of application are critical to success.

Absolutely worthless
I tilled my veggie garden mid March then applied Preen heavily, raked and watered in. Tilled again mid April, applied heavily again and watered in. Planted May 1. Now weeds starting everywhere. Should one should apply it so thickly that it acts as a mulch? See pic and scroll in

Great job except this year!
I have used Preen Weed Preventer and had success for the past 10 to 15 years. This year, it did not work at all. I applied it the same as I have in other years just before a rainfall, with the scoop, etc. I have never weeded more than this year! The same weeds it has prevented in the past are taking over my landscaping. I have talked to a few people who use it, including family members, and they seemed to have the same situation as I am experiencing. What happened this year? I use 4 of the 16# size. It was unfortunately a big waste of money and time this year. Disappointed.

Huge disappointment
bought the black mulch with the weed prevention and didn't work at all. Within a few days I had more weeks than normal. Huge disappointment
