I fertilized my lawn for the first time. I borrowed my neighbour's drop

Well. I didn't realize that spreading fertilizer is like painting a
wall. You would have to stare for a very long time to find the art in the
design that I left (my yard shape is irregular). I thought that the
fertilizer would spread in the soil after a rain...actually, I wasn't
thinking...

How much time should laps before applying more fertilizer?

I didn't catch where you live but I'd be re-doing it
right now, here in N Ohio.

I'd be using a broadcast spreader instead of a drop, with
no weed control..food only.

Run it at half rate, in both directions. Then get your lawnmower
gassed up.
