Fertilize before the rain

[sailinghudson25]

I fertilized my clover plots with some 6-24-24.  Pretty light about 100lbs an acre.   I also put some 15-15-15 around the fruit and cover cedar trees.  

 

I did this last thursday right before the rain.  We got plenty of rain though.  Is it better to wait for rain?

Let me rephrase this.  Do you guys think my fertilizer got diluted too quickly from all this rain, and it either 4ft deep in the soil, or the neighbors have to mow more often now......

I did notice the apple tree grass perked up a bit better than the rest of the yard.  But this is the 3rd time in 2 years I have put some fertilizer down in that area.  Also, the shade from the trees likely helped the grass from going dormant during our early july dry spell.
