cult: preen


Chuck Bunnel asked if there was any real data on trifuralin stunting
newly transplanted rhizomes. Last fall I used preen on a newly planted
bed.  I have not noticed any stunting whatsoever.  The fans are sturdy
and full.  Granted some of the stalks are not as tall as in past years,
but I attribute that to late planting and a 25 degree cold snap this
spring.  The weed count was 1/5 of the other beds, mostly around the
edges of the bed. I am surrounded by dandelion fields on four sides.  I
used a similar product this spring and have not noticed any stunting
with this product.
