Can I put this on my lawn like a fertilizer? Or does it have to be worked in to the soil?

It's water soluble so you can spread it and it will soak in with watering. You'll get more of it into the soil by tilling it in because some may wash away from the surface but it does soak in.

Just to reiterate, this is more to breakup soil rather than fertilize the lawn. Nevertheless, I used it like fertilizer where I spread the Gypsum over my lawn which is very clay heavy. It does not need to be worked into the clay. This product does work, and after your first pass, you will see a difference. However, my lawn requires more than one pass through.

Has to be worked into the soil. At least with a hand aerator. Helped some, not a great deal, but my lawn has an awful lot of standing water when it rains. Am told I really need to dig a trench and put in some type of drainage. Too much expense and heavy work for me so I went with the pearls.

You do not have to mixed with the soil, although it might work faster. This is a very fine granular gypsum, therefore it resolve easier than some cheaper kind. You can spread it around your plants or lawn, then water them right away to dissolve it.

Apply just like fertilizer. Preferably right before rain for quick absorbtion.

It has to worked in to the soil. Gypsum is used to treat soil that has a lot of clay.

Just wait a few days for the grass to die. This is not a herbicide. It is an organic spray that will only harm grass or weeds it has direct contact with. There are no residual harmful effects to the soil.

You must hook a hose to this to help dissolve cartridge and get the solution into the ground around the bush/plant/tree. etc. I've had one for a number of years and wouldn't be without it! Great for fertilizing, and also great for watering (no wasted water).

As long as the gound is level you could put it on grass. You would need to put down plastic or root guard to make sure grass doesn't grow through though.

I generally use it as an amendment to my soil and sprinkle a little(tsp or 2) into the hole for all transplants. This year I mixed it with green sand and everything seems very happy.I only use it in the Spring and for starters. Seems to be water soluble, would probably work good in a fertilizer tea.

Paul, I bought this for my husband, so I asked him. This is what he said, "You can. But I just water mine enough to water the plants. I'm not trying to water it enough to get anything to run through and make fertilizer."Hope that helps. BTW...he loves his!

yes it can and it does a good job. I bought it for seed and fertilizer but if the fertilizer has clumps it will clog up. seed is not a problem

You could use it for either one. If for soil you'd primarily use it as a foliar spray.

Yes, contact your county agriculture agent. For a small fee they will test your soil. Look them up on line and they will explain what you need to do..

I couldnt get it to work in soil. But if you could get it to actually work, I dont think it would matter if it is soil in pots or soil outdoors

It really doesn't go down into the soil. It just kind of scrapes along the surface. It works well for smaller weeds in my garden. I think for weeding it works fine. I really liked it but it really wasn't sharp enough. After my hubby sharpened it, it worked much better. For the price it is pretty awesome.

Kristen, it's supposed to go on the top and acts like a fertilizer. We didn't use it though. Good Luck!

You work this in the soil around the plant and it water it. Then it works its way up from the roots into the plant.

There's no reason it can't, but there are better specified lawn fertilizers out there.

You must water in the product so it soaks into the ground. If it doesn't rain in two days, you must use the hose or sprinkler and wash it in. It works in the ground, not on the leaves of grass, etc.

Absolutely! My yard is the epitome of clay soil and this thing works great. They do recommend not plugging in very wet conditions.
