Bags, don't worry about 'watering it in'.....you don't need to, this time of year. Some (a very little) of that fert will get used by the grass, and most of it will be spread out, eventually, evenly, over the course of the winter. When the grass kicks into high gear, next spring, the fert will be right there waiting for it.

The morning dew will dissolve it. That's the problem. It dissolves it and it has just enough moisture to keep it right on the surface where the high strength salts and possibly acids will burn the plants. It needs more moisture to wash some of that down into the soil where the roots are.

You do water, don't you? If not and you are inclined to let nature take her course, you might think twice about fertilizing. That would be walking on the wild side. Or you could try an organic fertilizer. That won't burn, but it might not give the effect you're after.

Do you suffer from ophidiophobia?

Grab a hose and turn the water on, if you have doubts.

ophidiophobia?,,,huh?,,well i guess i learn something everyday.,and no,i have no fear of watering,as i water the area around my house when needed,however,in order to reach the back area i would need four 100 foot hoses hooked together to reach them.maybe ill follow dchalls advice and go organic back there,,better then nothing i suppose..then again.i like philes21,s philosophy....just do it
