Preen Vegetable Garden Weed Preventer contains corn gluten meal. It is an organic by-product of the wet-milling process, and is sold as a feed ingredient for cattle, poultry and other species of livestock. It has been used in fish food for commercial fish production. Corn gluten meal is also a primary component in some dog food products. Corn gluten meal is 60% corn protein, and it is this high level of protein that inhibits the growth of seeds.

Comments, Reviews and Ratings

I was a little concerned that a product made from corn would be all that effective. However, after I tried it I thought it did a good job. Best of all it is organic without all the chemicals. I feel more comfortable now that I am not hurting the environment. I use it in combination with mulch to cut down on even this environmentally safe product. together they result in a weed free garden. Very happy with this product.Barnabas Miller, Fri, Feb 08, 2013

I still had weeds in my garden after I used it and was not happy about that. I do not think it works all that well.Bargas Elke, Sat, Feb 09, 2013

This is a great product that reduces weeds. It is made from a by-product of corn and is safe to use on vegetable gardens. You do have to follow the instructions though. If you disturb the soil too much after application you will not see the best results. Also, if you are going to plant from seed you can not use this until the plant is established. The granules are designed to prevent seeds from germinating. Barbi Ambrose, Sun, Feb 10, 2013

It works to some degree. It keeps the weeds down but does not eliminate them. I have used regular preen and I thought it worked better than this. I liked that it is organic and will probably use it in the future on my veggies because of it. The only downfall is that it will still require some hand weeding.Sue Linda, Sun Jun 09, 2013

This product uses corn to produce the seed germination inhibitor so that is nice but it is not a true organic product. There is no claim that the corn that is used to make it was grown organically. It works well and performs as claimed. You need to be aware that it will not kill existing weeds and root structures below the surface. You have to pull that out first or those plants will regrow. It will prevent the germination of new seeds.Barbee Bywater, Tue, Feb 12, 2013

This uses natural ingredients to control weeds and I prefer that over regular Preen which uses chemicals. I use it around my vegetable garden I feel it is a lot safer and won't harm the vegetables. Best of all, it gives good resultsNanci Woodward, Fri Jun 14, 2013
