How does rain affect on applying the herbicides?
Comments (9)"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....See MoreCan I apply TOO much Bt on my veggies?
Comments (7)"crass" = "gross" frass is a polite word for poop. Since the Bacillus thuringiensis bacterium gets washed off a plants leaves duiring a rain, or when you overhead water, you would need to reapply it to provide the protection your plants might need. Since the Bt needs to be ingested, eaten, by the target insect and that target insect needs to have a certain gut chemistry to activate the bacterium, something warm blooded creatures do not have, there is no concern about you being exposed. The application of "too" much Bt might get expensive but will not be harmful, to you....See MoreHow much lime can I apply?
