Location determines what we do.
Our SOP is to spot seed early in spring then apply preemergent. I can have seed failure due to lack of water, soil to cold and yes the preemergent. I have to follow up a few weeks later with spot seeding.......for the most part we get satisfactory results with that second spot seeding.
Now is the topic about who is more irresponsible?
IMO........you both are.
First it's inexcusable for a company to apply at the wrong address. Second, to an area that would be in desperate need of renovation. Lastly the one who seeded knowing that preemergent was for the most part recently applied...
It would take about 3 weeks with proper irrigation for the granuals to break down and no longer visible.........so......if the granuals are visible, that application could have been any time within 10 days or so. 14 or so days if no irrigation at all.
However......as you stated in your agreement with said customer.....you are not responsible for the results due to the fact that preemergent was evident.
But you could have waited 1, 2 maybe 3 weeks before doing the seeding. How long to wait?........find out when exactly the application was made. And strongly urged customer to irrigate heavily in the interum till seeding took place.
But this discussion could not be about whether a 900 sqft area should have been seeded first.........Fact is company mistakenly made an application to the wrong address........so that discussion is null and void.
What the discussion of this thread should be about......What to do and what should have been done after the preemergent application........
Don't you agree?
