What bothers me, is the people who come to spray your yard etc and charge you, close to 100 bucks. I see no improvement really, but think its necessary. (not sure) Hmmmmmmmm? If they would use granular for everything, and not spray (that washes through ground in one day from rain or sprinklers) I'd probably feel better. Oh well, my fault for paying.
A commercial grower told me that foliar feeding (spraying the leaves) was more effective than granular or drenching (liquid poured onto soil) so the spray your lawn service applies may be more effective than you anticipate.
