I have never used it but have seen it, I think it is a weed preventer, not weed killer. My guess is that it probably has something it it that keeps the weed seeds from germinating, but I could be totally wrong. So maybe do a good weeding then apply.

Thats what I was thinking. Im gonna work on weeding tommorrow. Yuck! Its the part I hate.

I have never used it but I believe thats how it works. You put it down to prevent weed seed from germinating which I should have done since I have all these lovely weeds I have been nurturing, lol. I don't want the flowers to not reseed though so I was afraid to use it.

Shawn & Kristy are right, it is to keep the weeds from germinating.
I used it a few years ago, the fertilizer in it seems to
work real well.
I know how you feel, I have weeds every where too, seems
to be a constant battle!
Happy weeden!
I have a sign that says (Garden Of Weeden)! LOL

What is a weed? There is no place for them in my garden and one needs to learn to carry a small bottle of roundup when one takes a garden walk. To pull only activates the seeds in the ground! We have just added the Aug 2008 photos to our site on curb appeal, see no weeds here!

You can use corn gluten meal to prevent seed germintaion and it actually will feed the soil.. you can also put down 6~8 layers of newspaper and just mulch.. grass clippings, leaves... Or just do it the old fashion way... wait for your children to get grounded and send them out there...LOL

Oh man that brings back memories. My grandmother used to make us pull weeds when we got in trouble, lol. Usually for sneaking her watermelons out of the patch that she planned to sell, lol. I have some sort of stupid little low ground hugging weeds that pop up EVERYWHERE.

Pocket bottle of Round up. Ive just been scared to use it. I dont want to kill anything good But the weeds are doing it for me. Im gonna give it a try. Im tired of weeding My yard was refered to as a jungle twice this week. LOL

lol Kylie. Can I borrow someones children? Have not weeded all HOT summer long lol

Children dont help. Ive got 2 and they hate it. Id rather do it myself than hear Can we have a break now? 2 minutes in They are banned from my gardens. I like the peace and quiet.

Sounds like my daughter. She only wants to pick all flowers not do any of the work, lol. I am thinking about using some of this now since I don't have anymore seeds that I am waiting for to sprout. Maybe it will make it better in the spring without so many weeds and it will be gone in time to still plant seeds by then. What do you think?

Thats my gaol. It said it works for one season. I have already put some out. I hope it works. I figure I will try it now to know if it is worth investing in the begining of the summer. I would Gladly grow all my seedslings in the fall in the Greenhouse to avoid the weeds. I have a front yard that is about 1/2 an acre that I am try ing to maintain and most days its just to hot. I had to buy Misquto stuff to spray on all the plants because the were about to suck my dry and what they didnt take the fire ants were. LOL I put down over and Out on them and it really did seem to help. I am ready for fall myself. Play in the warm greenhouse and get more organized. I am going to Mulch the snot out of everything this winter and hope that gets me through next summer.

I'm glad you told me about the over and out. I have red ants in all my pots at the shop and they ate me up today when I was digging around in there. I just put some granular fire ant killer in them last week and it didn't faze them evidently. I reached in there to poke holes in the dirt to fertilize and they got all over my hands. Hurts like crap! The deer have pruned my rose bush again so I turned it around. They can do the other side next and even it out, lol. It bloomed like crazy after they ate it last time, lol.

Ill have to get the name of this other stuff I use but it kills them almost insantly. Smells like rotten eggs but it is the best thing I have ever seen. It is a white powder and a teaspoon on an ant bed kills them dead. Its just expensive and with the over and out I am looking for a longer term fix. Our feet are actually scared from ant bites this year. Its crazy.
