You hit the nail on the head, TravelGuy. All of our shrubs, plants, etc., have different needs, including the grass. My husband spoke to the Fertigator man because our next door neighbor had his service in their previous home and now are getting it in their new home. We chose not to sign up because of the "different needs" reason, plus -- nothing should be fertilized in the dead of winter.
