Preen user's Gulf Coast cottage stays weed-free year-round
"Hi, Good Folks at Preen,
Three years ago, my husband and I purchased a lovely winter home in Naples, FL, and I immediately began planting a subtropical garden in all the colors of the rainbow. It was so vibrant and grew so vigorously, I thought it would be the nicest in the neighborhood.
As I waved goodbye to my little patch of paradise the following spring, little did I know what would await me upon my return in fall - weeds, weeds, weeds.
I quickly set to work pulling out those pesky plants, but how could I prevent such a disaster in the future? A friend suggested Preen, and I am so pleased with the results. Now before I leave my Gulf Coast cottage, I sprinkle on the Preen, according to label directions, and I'm good to go. Preen is so easy to use and so effective. I would highly recommend it to all my gardening friends."
