weeds grow from the roots and nutrients left in the garden soil
There are many ways weeds can make it into gardens. Weed plants produce seeds that can be carried by the wind long distances and land anywhere - and a nicely taken care of garden can be heaven to a seed that otherwise might have had to try to grow in sidewalk crack. Seeds can also be carried on the fur of animals and passed through the digestive tract and excreted by birds and animals. If they land in a garden, they've found a home. Some weeds multiply through underground root systems. If one of these plants is in your neighbor's yard, an underground root extending into your yard can send up new shoots developing into a weed in your garden.

Does Preen keep weeds out of gardens?
Yes, Preen keeps weeds from sprouting in gardens even though the weed control in question does not keep established weeds out of gardens. The herbicide in question has to be sprinkled and watered in during the growing season (and every 9 - 12 weeks thereafter) into the top 1 - 2 inches (2.54 - 5.08 centimeters) of soil -- which then must not be disturbed further - around established woody plants, herbaceous plants 2 - 3 inches (5.08 - 7.62 centimeters) tall, and grasses. Flowering plants must have germinated even though vegetables can be seeded.

Why do people pull out the weeds in their garden?
Elimination of vegetation deemed unfriendly or unproductive describes the reason why people pull out the weeds in their gardens. Weeds typically get defined as plants that are not where their owner wants them or whose value is non-existent, unappreciated or unknown. The unfriendliness reflects the competition of weeds -- with their fast growth and re-establishment, low maintenance, multiple methods of reproducing and spreading and tolerances of extreme light, moisture, nutrient and temperature extremes -- with the gardener's edibles, grasses and ornamentals.
How do you rid stone covered gardens of plants and weeds?
Black plastic sheeting, bulldozing, controlled burns, manual or mechanical removal, mulches, roto-tilling, salt, vinegar, weed-eaters and weed-killers are ways to rid stone-covered gardens of plants and weeds. A small stone garden can be controlled for weeds by removing the rocks temporarily -- to clear-cut the ground, with bulldozers or roto-tillers, or to solarize vegetation by putting down permanently weighted down black plastic sheeting. The other options do not require removing the rocks but working around them to eliminate plants and weeds.
How can plants harm people?
