Linda,
How well does the Preen work?  I have a couple of boxes of it I haven't used yet.  I'm not sure I am wild about letting very much of it build up in the soil.  Does anyone know about how it breaks down or persistence?  I have a few large areas I will be putting mixed borders into, but could be looking at a record crop of weeds this year without the Preen.  (Yes, I do mulch like crazy, and the weeds aren't hard to pull out where I have enough work path, but too many weeds coming to chase!)
