The best time to weed is after a good rain. They pop right out! The best time to fertilize with granular fertilizer is right before one. The best water to use is rainwater, which when it falls has nitrogen in it. That’s why a good rain will green up your lawn faster than watering. If you live in a dry area, plant in furrows rather than raised beds, to catch the rain and facilitate irrigation. Tap water left standing out overnight will lose its chlorine, which is better for your plants.
