Preen saves soil
from erosion

"I tried Preen on my large flower and evergreen steep mound in the early spring. Because Preen prevented weeds, I did not have to disturb the soil by hand-pulling them or hoeing. Preen helped keep the soil undisturbed and unexposed to rain and water erosion."
— K.P. (Indiana)

Both are sold primarly as houseplants.

If you don’t mind some repotting and moving plants inside and out, the “houseplants” you buy now can double as pot centerpieces this summer - and maybe for years to come.

recycled containers make great seed-starters
Recycled butter tubs with holes
drilled in the bottom make excellent
(and free) seed-starting containers.

Save a bundle on plants this season by taking a crack at starting your own seeds inside.
