Default Fertizlizing just before rain

Looks like we're in for rain every week or so in the PRC (Calif). Grass is
growing like crazy, with the weather still in the 60-70's. What kind of
treatment is good just before a 1-2 inch rain?

if grass is growing like crazy, it doesn't need fertilizer.

Best to wait until spring and fertilize a bit when you expect a light rain.


Now, trees are a different story, since their roots are deeper. But
consider your terrain and don't apply if too much rain is coming so it can
be washed off rather than dissolved and percolated into the ground.
