The $17 Amazon buy took a “pitiful” display in someone’s yard to a vision of “green and plush” land.

Whether you’re a beginner or someone who is looking to reset your lawn, there is one gardening buy you should add to your cart.
The Preen One Lawncare Weed & Feed, $16.74, is flying off the metaphorical shelves because it “does it all” with one easy application.
Just one nine-pound bag of the affordable deal covers 2,500 square feet of grass.
Pre-emergent herbicides are a form of chemical weed control that prevents germinated weed seedlings from growing.
The Preen One brand stops crabgrass all season and can be applied up to four weeks after crabgrass emerges.
The pre-emergent herbicide kills over 250 lawn weeds commonly found in yards around neighborhood homes, like dandelions, straight down to the root.
It also feeds your lawn for up to eight weeks with its phosphorus 24-0-6 formula.
That means that a package of the Preen One 3-in-1 contains 24% nitrogen, 0% phosphorus, and 6% potassium.
Self-described Lawn Care Nut Allyn Hayne offered background information in a YouTube video for how you can revitalize your “ugly lawn” with the weed and feed application.
He swore by the outdoor greenery, like the Bio-Advanced 3-in-1 Weed and Feed for Southern Lawns, which costs $30.99 at Home Depot for a 12.5-pound bag.
Allyn said that it was great for people who are just starting or need to hit a “reset” button to “jump-start their lawn” back to health.
Though the Preen One product is one that lawn care lovers like Allyn Hayne endorse there are also some things to be wary of.
The product description advised against using this product on St. Augustinegrass, colonial bentgrass, dichondra, or carpet grass.
A serious lawn injury could happen as a result.
Many shoppers also had positive experiences with the 3-in-1 buy and left positive reviews.
According to Amazon buyer Dean, “this stuff works” and he loved the results so much that he rated it 5/5 stars.
“My yard was full of weeds and it was looking pitiful but after a few weeks, my grass is green and plush with no weeds,” he wrote.

- Banana peels, vinegar, and coffee grounds are often recommended as natural fertilizers.
- Dollar Tree sells four packs of seeds for $1.25.
- Try a vertical planter like Amazon’s Mr. Stacky 5 Tier Stackable Planter, $35 to make more use of a small space.
- Use netting like the Garden Netting Pest Barrier, $8, from Amazon to keep away bugs that eat your vegetables.
- Try sacrificial planting to reduce the use of pesticides and keep pests away from your garden. Deliberately growing certain plants to attract agricultural pests can keep them away from the plants you want to protect. Examples include marigolds, lavender, catnip, and chives.
- For pesky weeds in your garden, the Grampa’s Weeder – The Original Stand-Up Weed Puller Tool with Long Handles, $45, from Amazon is a helpful tool you can use without having to bend over.
Muball previously used Preen in his garden beds and decided to give it a try for his formerly “weedy lawn.”
He also gave it a five-star rating and offered advice that was “good to know.”
“The lawn weeds don’t die immediately,” he wrote.
“It took a few weeks to see weeds in the lawn start to die back after I applied it, but this worked well and lawn is starting to green up nice. Would recommend.”
