I planted my green beans seeds and sweet corn and sprinkled Preen garden weed preventative plus plant food on top the soil. Will this prevent my beans and corn from growing?
Preen Garden Weed Preventer + Plant Food notates on the label to be applied prior to seeding green beans. If applied after, it may or may not affect the growth. Sweet corn is not listed on the label as a compatible vegetable so growth may not occur. If the vegetables do grow, they can still be consumed. Thank you!
Is this safe to use on vinca minor?
Thank you for your email! Preen Garden Weed Preventer Plus Plant Food is safe to use around your vinca minor once it is well established. Meaning that is has fully spread to everywhere that you want it to. If it is still spreading then we recommend not applying as the Preen will keep it from spreading. Thank you, Customer Service
