Has the recent rain washed away the new fertilizer?

Recommended Posts

Earlier this week I cleaned up the perennial beds, applied Hollytone and "fluffed" the mulch to work it in a bit.  My rain gauge has over 3" of water in it today.  Do you think that the fertilizer has been washed past the root zones?

The rain will not cause the Hollytone to be washed down into the soil and past the root zone, it could be washed away from the soil if the beds are on a slope and the Hollytone is physically moved by the rainwater. Hollytone isn't water soluble.

I'm glad to know that my efforts in fertilizing the hostas isn't wasted.  All of the beds are on the level so when it warms up my plants should be happy.
