This ensures the granules dissolve on the weed leaves.<\/p>    <p>\u201cIf we do this in the reverse order (apply the post-emergence granule product first, and then water it in), the granule will dissolve and wash off down to the soil surface. This can greatly reduce the weed control response.\u201d<\/p>    <p>Do not water the lawn after treatment so the weed killer can penetrate the leaves. <strong>Check the package label for a precise waiting time<\/strong>. Some manufacturers recommend waiting 24 to 48 hours before watering, others 48 to 72 hours.&nbsp;<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>If you irrigate too soon, the water may displace undissolved granules, creating overfertilized areas and patches with untreated weeds.&nbsp;<\/li>    <li>If you wait too long to water and the soil becomes dry, salts in the product might concentrate in the soil, causing fertilizer burn.<\/li> <\/ul>    <p>When watering after a weed and feed application, use the sprinkler system to evenly shower the lawn. A strong jet from a garden hose can wash off the chemicals.<\/p>    <p>Apply 1\/2 to 1 inch of water, depending on the weather:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>During a hot, dry spell, apply more water to moisten the soil so the chemicals don\u2019t burn the grass.<\/li>    <li>If it\u2019s London-style weather \u2014 damp and cloudy \u2014 apply less.
