Liquid has nothing to do with it. Do a search on this, and you will come up with a days worth of reading just for Michigan, alone.

All products break down in the soil and have the potential to leach. Don't let the fancy bag fool you:nono: In Ga.,any product such as this requires an applicator Lic. and a Contractors Lic to apply for money. I'm sure its the same in most places.

50 Bucks for a permit to apply fertilizer here. If it has any pesticide, herbicide or any other chemical can't use it unless you have your pesticide license. My brother is getting ready to be a licensed chemist. Right now he makes fertilizer. There are a lot of processes to make it. Who knows maybe he'll own a fertilizer company someday.
