firstandgoal, Thanks for the info. That sounds reasonable to me. I hit a bit of the lawn last night before dark - hopefully it will rain today/tonight at get the rest wetted down enough, or I'll be back out there. And thanks for confirming that I got it down in time. I missed last year and was a little worried I was late for THIS year, as I saw some forsythia blooms around town.

"A general question may enable everyone to get general opinions from experts." But there isn't one answer for all cases here. I couldn't find a label for the Weed B Gone product, but I think it's a liquid. You want to get the weeds growing well before using it and spray it when the leaves are dry. From the label for the Lesco fertilizer: "The best results with this product are obtained when it is applied to dry turf and actively growing grass. Water into the turf soon after application. Avoid mowing immediately following application to prevent pick-up." Since Jeannie and I gave different advice about the weed and feed, I thought I'd double check. Here is the label. It doesn't allow copying and pasting, but it says to water thoroughly several days before applying to sustain moisture until the next watering. It also says to apply it when the leaves are moist from dew, rainfall or irrigation and that if the leaves are dry, you should sprinkle lightly before using it. Three different products. Three different answers for when and how to apply and time for rain and watering.

That's what most of the lawn sprayer companies do.

If you call Cabot's 1-800 number at their website --- you will get very exact advice. I found them quite helpful.
