I use Preen about 3 times a year in the garden beds. It really helps prevent weed growth. Especially if you use it as a pre-emergent (pre-season) treatment.
Also the best weed/grass killers without using pesticides is a simple combination of concentrated vinegar, salt, dish soap and water. To make 2 liters of weed spray, add 1cup table salt, 6 cups Harris 35%white vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dish soap, fill with water to 2 liters. Stir well. Spray. When done , rinse out sprayer unit. I recommend wearing gloves. It is pretty caustic on skin. Stand back. The weeds will die!
