Go check the label and see how little space is devoted to 'digging in'. Fertilizers are a concentraion of many different salts and, just as when someone leaves your kitchen salt out on the table after a good barbie , they will suck in moisture if they can. If they (the fertilisersw) , happen to be mixed within the soil, then that is where they will suck in their moisture. To cut a long story short it is called 'osmosis', (their word, not mine!). Years ago, it was called 'Killing with kindness'... {:-( You wrote: .... second died despite me watering it with a hose every other day..... Refer to my earlier post on this matter.
