The April/May drought is coming up and you don't want any pooled fertilizer in the soil as it can burn roots. ------------------------- surf forecast

It looks like a good chance of rain on Thursday as well. typically, you don't want to fertilize before a rain, as it runs off. But, in my case, I don't have a sprinkler system and rely on rain. I fertilize very lightly and mostly want to add the micro-nutrients in the soil. Tonight I used a 8-4-8 with minors. Not enough nitrogen to burn and I spread it real thin. Hopefully that doesn't curse any chance of more rain for Thursday! ------------------------- surf forecast

Central Floridave Posts: 38475 Joined: 07/22/2003	1/2" of rain yesterday for me. Not bad for April. I'll take it. But, I doubt we see anymore rain for the next two months. ------------------------- surf forecast
