Default Can You Apply Lawn Fertilizer and Grub Control At Same Time?(krw)

Thanks for all of the great information, it is appreciated! Is it true,
that with grub killer like "Bayer Advanced" or "Scotts Grub-Ex" that you
have to water it in really well into the soil, with like 2 inches of
water, in order for it to work? I have read online from other peoples
reviews, that you have to use a sprinkler, and a empty tuna-fish or cat
food can, and run the sprinkler until the can is completely full with
water. But what about places where it is impossible to put a sprinkler
for hours at a time, like on a small treebelt, or tiny front yard next
to the public sidewalk? Using a garden hose and sprayer isn't good
enough? Please let me know? Thanks!


It won't care _how_ the water got there; the product directions will
tell you just how much is actually needed--go by them for the specific
product and application, _not_ what somebody on usenet says.

All you need is some way to ensure you've put on what you think you have
and a way to make that at least reasonably uniform. The sprinkler is
the obvious way for large areas.
