fertilizers are not supposed to be harmful after they have been watered and
dried. If it’s a weed preventer/fertilizer, watch he doesn’t get
into it for that has a chemical in it. The plants use fertilizer to grow so
when Basil grazes it shouldn’t be harmful to him.<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>

always refused to use any chemicals on my lawn because Basil likes to graze (as
did Waldo before him.) Just this evening, my neighbor kindly informed me that
he had fertilized his lawn, and that when he did the fence line, a good chunk
of my land got covered as well by the spreader. I'm really pissed, to say the
least. He claims that it'll be perfectly safe as soon as it rains and the
pellets dissolve; is this true? I was always under the impression that the
fertilizer was absorbed by the soil and then sucked up by the growing grass,
which would mean that any grass that's in that area would be poisonous to eat.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

anyone clarify which of us is correct? I'm not sure what I can do about it if
I'm right, short of having to go out with Basil every single time he goes out
to make sure that he doesn't attempt to graze. And how long would it be before
the fertilized grass "grows out"? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
