But, this may not be true for every plant. Ask about the specific plants that you intend to use the fert/pesticide....(Answered by A Well Lit Garden)

Not all trees need their root ball all the way in the ground. Most do, but some do not. If it was professionally landscaped (which it sounds like it was) then it probably is OK.

The 2 turfbuilders Plus 2 are considered safe after putting them down on wet lawn and letting them sit for 24 hours.

Don't let anyone on them until after thay have dried. Then they are considered safe. I personally wait for 2 or 3 rainfalls just to make extra sure that there is no residue left in any appreciable amount. And in today's world you are going ...(Answered by college kid)
