I know the basics of pre em herbicides, a fine firm moist seed bed & don't disturb it afterwards. But how does it actually kill the weed. Does the weed germinate hit the pre em layer & die? or Does the weed die as it germinates? or is the seed discouraged from germinating & may even remain...- Devil's advocate
