Should I spray liquid fertiliser before rain or wait for dry weather?

I had planned to spray this weekend with Charger, Nurture and Humic+. However it’s been raining most of the week and forecast to continue for another few days. Do I spray while it’s not raining now or wait until next weekend when it’s hopefully dry?

    Jonny just posted a really good reply to this exact question on the previous post.

      This is what it said: For foliar applications, you can also focus more on soil applications when the weather isn’t ideal. Root Health, Humic, Restore, Nurture, Amino and Iron can all be applied as soil drenches too. Remember though we’re doing foliar applications in winter to bypass the root uptake because root activity has slowed down due to colder soil temps. A better option would be If you get a suitable spray window, use the rope to knock the dew off the lawn first (dragging a hose across the lawn also works), then get a brew down.

    Yeah good call Lance. Just read that and it’s great advice. I’m new to the app and learning how to navigate around.

    Is it raining all weekend? Really only need a 2-3 hour window if you knock the dew off.
