Hi, Ginny, 
 
I guess the reason I expressed some concern, and that I still have several year old Preen to discuss is that I am leery of creating a problem with chemical buildup.  I am hoping that someone will respond to what is in there, and how/if it breaks down reasonably.  My understanding is that there is a gradual buildup that eventually will bother mature plants.
 
On the other hand, I have a lot of footage to care for, more to be developed (who is sane enough to start in the front yard?), and a busy full time job to interfere.  So I am more actively considering using the Preen now for 1-2 years.  When I am past the heavy development stage and crusing, I don't think I would be tempted.

Hal,
 
Start weeding early in the season before the weeds take hold.  Once they get the upper hand, it is much harder to eradicate them!  Try strolling your garden every couple of days being mindful of weeds.  Take a weeder with you and attack 'em while they're young.  Doesn't take much time or energy this way.
