Preen 16 lbs. Weed Preventer Pail

Product Description

The Preen 16 lbs. Weed Preventer Pail is a granular pre-emergent herbicide that stops weeds before they start for up to 3 months. It is formulated for use in established flower beds, around shrubs, and even in certain vegetable gardens. The durable, waterproof pail is ideal for homeowners with larger landscapes who prefer to scoop or broadcast the product rather than using a shaker jug.

Key Features

• 3-Month Shield: Creates a vapor barrier in the top layer of soil that prevents weed seeds from germinating.
• Vegetable Garden Safe: Unlike the "Extended Control" (Orange) versions, this formula is labeled for use around over 60 specific vegetables (once they have reached 2–3 inches in height).
• Massive Coverage: The 16 lb. size is significantly more economical for large areas, covering up to 2,560 sq. ft.
• Resealable Storage: The plastic pail keeps the granules dry and effective for future seasons, preventing the clumping often seen with paper bags.

Application Reminder

• Timing: Apply anytime in spring, summer, or fall when the soil is clear of existing weeds.
• Activation: You must water the granules in (or apply right before rain) to move the active ingredient into the soil.
• Caution: Do not use on flower or vegetable seeds you have just planted; it will prevent your "good" seeds from growing just as effectively as it stops weeds!
