Hello,
I am worried:
My lawn man fertilized yesterday late in the day with a granular 'Nitrophos' Winterizer. We had some problems with my husband's blood pressure and I forgot to turn on the sprinklers until this morning (before the sun came up). It has been about 14 hours. Do you think I have burned our grass?
I think his blood pressure will be worse if I have. Our lawn is almost 2 years old, it is St. Augustine Grass and we live near Houston TX.
Thank you,
Michelle
If you read through our FERTILIZER CONTROL ARTICLE, you'll learn there is always a risk or danger of burning your grass if the fertilizer used is over applied. But todays products are designed to not burn and only a very few on the market pose a direct risk or even have a chance to do so. Additionally, any lawn service that would apply such a product would followup by making sure it was cleaned up or watered in properly so they would not be held accountable for any "mis application". At this point I can say with 99% certainty there is little or no need for you to be alarmed and by no means is there any reason for your husbands blood pressure to shoot up so relax!
