    Q: How long to plant vegetable seeds after using this? Thank you!

    10 months ago
    1 Answer
    • A: Hi, For most vegetables, you should wait 12 weeks after applying Preen 250 sq. ft. Vegetable Garden Weed Preventer before planting seeds or transplants. However, certain vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, radishes, peas, and celery can be planted after applying Preen. For cantaloupes, cucumbers, and watermelons, either wait 12 weeks or apply Preen after the seedlings have at least five leaves according to Preen.

    Ordered for pickup online. No way yo get pickup once you get there. No answer on phone. Finally had to go in and wait in line to pickup. 2nd time this happened. They say to phone in when you get there, but no one ever answers. I'll go elsewhere. Somewhere that understands store pickup.

    Does the job

    Have continually used it in my vegetable garden to keep the weeds out of my rock type walkway. Beats taking a knife and pulling them out. Would prefer to not use a spray so this does the trick.

    Yes, I recommend this product.
