Believe it or not, I'm two weeks behind in the annual battle with unwanted
plants ( I'm too PC to call 'em weeds Smile

here on my place

We have a new one, commonly referred to as 'goat heads' that is a truly
major pain and I've spent the last couple years dousing the isolated areas
it inhabits with Roundup and then taking a propane torch to what remains
..... still got some Sad

Anyone have any experience with 'Preen' and it's effectiveness in preventing
these ... damnit, WEEDS .... from sprouting ?

I tried it once, and it did seem to have a temporary effect in my
veggie garden; but my nemesis (quickweed?) is persistent, and the
garden, faced with chronic neglect from me, eventually succumbs every
year. It's okay stuff, but it's not a magic bullet. Paraphrasing the
old VW ad, it definitely works, but does not work indefinitely.

Ah! the plant that created the demand for Never Leak. It made going
bare-foot in California so much fun. The state is controlling them
with bugs the stem boring weevil, Microlarinus lareynii and the fruit
boring weevil Microlarinus lypriformis.
Here's the web site.

I went back to one of my child hood haunts a couple of years ago. I
could have walked around bare-footed. Thirty years ago it would have
ment a long session with needles and tweezers

interruption -

After applying Preen it should work until the surface is scratched. My
gardener guy said you have to replace the preen of the ground gets
scratched.

Whew! For a while there it looked like this thread might slip by without
some idiot hijacking it.

Thanks for preventing that.
