Travis here with your Sandy Tip of the Week. We got a great question in the office today and I wanted to talk about it. Now the question was, does it matter if we do liquid or granular this time of year. Now granular, if you're not familiar, it's the stuff you buy in the bag. It's the little pellets that you spread around. Now the problem with granular is timing. It has to be watered in order to be activated. Now we don't have any rain in the forecast. And we don't have our sprinklers turned on because it's too early in the season. We do a full put application like we are doing right here, you get instant activation. The timing of this is huge, because you may miss your window because you're pre emergent. If it's granular. It might not even be activated yet it might not be working. I hate for you to get weeds in your lawn just because it's not watered in. If you have any questions like always go ahead and let us know. We would love to help you out.
