Hi, guys. Well, I put out the fert with dimension yesterday. There was no rain in the forecast, but it ended up raining for about 2 hours after I put on my fert with dimension. Do you think I need to do it again? I'm so pissed. This stuff's not cheap! And neither is my time. <p>And what about the fert w/dimensionI applied two days ago?<p>

Doesn't rain benefit fertilizer and crabgrass control?<br>

Jason try reading the label before you apply a Herbicide. Then you would know the answer to your question.

Jason, Lucky you, we could get 4 to 12 inches of snow with 50 MPH winds to activate ours. I hope it don't blow away before it gets wet.<p>----------<br><a href="http://www.townserver.com/elm/">Eric@ELM</a><br>

Lawrence,<p>Try being a bit less obnoxious and maybe more people would like you. You're an extremely rude man. What's the matter? Business no good???

Jason-<p>I agree. If only Lawrence could be so rigorously honest dealing with his own affairs. I do agree, however, that reading the label would have solved the problem. <b>Never</b> apply chemicals if you have not read the label <b>thoroughly</b>. I don't want this post to be taken as critical. It is absolutely necessary to read the labels. Any certified applicator should know this since it is the first thing they teach you (stressed heavily in Illinois and sounds the same elsewhere from the posts I've read in the past). If you don't read the label, being certified is worthless.<br><p>Read the label and become an expert. :)<br><p>John<br>

Wrong again, Mr. Stone. Got my license a month ago. Also have a Bachelor's in Chem and pre-med and a Master's Degree in Computers. And I don't think you meant "CONGENITALLY" I think you meant: congeniality. get an education.

No, burn out from travelling way too much. Made tons of money and invested it into my HUSBAND'S business. And if you read the pesticide forum you'd see I got my fert w/dim from an independent, second hand supplier. There is no mention of RAIN on the label, Mr. I can't Spell and have no education Stone.<p>-Nicole

Just typical Stone. I wouldn't take it personally. Now our occupation isn't a real job? He has a social disorder, to be sure. Must have injured his "congenitals" in a mowing accident. :)<p>John<p>

Nobody answered the original question!<p>Every fert/preemergent grassy weed control I'm familiar with is benefited by rain.<p>As far as the personal attacks: E-Mail each other! No need to post it here.

I agree, Lazer. I never start attacking people, as you well know. On the other hand, I'm not a whipping post, either. I'm less than interested in this type of behavior, but won't sit and let someone taunt me.<p>John
