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.
