It's called "Fertigator". I used it once a number of years ago. Not sure how to contact them now.

from what i would surmise only one type of fertilizer would be able to go through your irrigation system. and since different plants have different nutritional requirements, what is good for zoysia grass would not be appropriate for palm trees or holly bushes. i like to use slow release (granular) products such as Holly-tone or Rose-tone or Plant-tone.

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.
