Stacey, Last year my son used a Miracle Grow product that prevents weeds in his garden. I was amazed as they had no weeds at all. They pulled the first weeds, planted and applied this weed preventative a couple of times and still this year he is gardening weed free. I was at Costco on the weekend and they have it for 14# for about $15, and my son paid $10 for 5# last year at HD. Trifluralin is the main ingredient. Says it's OK for veggie gardens and I am in California which is pretty strict on these things.
