Preen Weed and Grass Killer

It's that time of year again.The time when weeds and grasses invade my flower beds.I am tired of pulling them out by hand.I just don't have the time.

I was shopping at Meijer's the other day and I thought about applying some chemicals to the area to kill off the invaders.I found this bottle of Preen.It caught my eye because the bottle says it kills to the root, ready to use and fast acting.Perfect!

I pulled out most of the bigger invaders and started to apply this spray to the flower bed.The first thing I noticed is that the attached sprayer isn't all that great.It really doesn't spray as much as it comes out in a stream.This made it hard to apply.It was going everywhere.I was trying not to get it on my flowers and other greenery.I could only hope that I was aiming correctly.I had to keep pumping the handle and it was hurting my hand after awhile.I wish it had come with a tube and a spray attachment.Those always seem to be easier to handle.

The package says it will give you results in 24 hours.Well I didn't see any proof of weed or grass dying off until 4 days later.Guess what!Yes , you probably guessed by now, I was successful in killing off some of my beautiful flowers too.I guess this works, but it's hard to apply and it is hard to direct the product with the applicator.I don't have any grass or weeds in my flower bed anymore....but I also have empty spots where it killed my flowers.
