I use extended preen twice a year, good for 6 mos. My big problem is crabgrass that grows in the bushes. HD suggested a spray to attach to hose, but directions say not to use in 90 heat so i 'll have to wait. Preen will not kill crabgrass, but HD gave me a granular crabgrass preventer to spread in the early spring. We'll see how that goes.
Weeds can be pulled up completely if the soil or mulch is very wet. Go out after a large rain or do a lot of watering and then pull s l o w l y .
