We have a light drizzle every day here, and I need to get step one applied before we leave town for an extended time. What will happen if the grass is wet when I apply the step 1 crabgrass preventer plus lawn food?
Much like other granule pre-emergent herbicides, the Scotts STEP 1 Crabgrass Preventer Plus Lawn Food label states to apply when the grass/lawn is dry as you need the granules to reach the soil and not stick to the wet leaf surfaces of the existing plants. If you can water the product into the soil to ensure the granules move from the damp grass into the soil to benefit you the way you desire for weed prevention, this may help decrease the amount of product lost to the surface grass.
