'Windy' lawn care programs

One of those pondering questions.... What do you do for lawn care if you have an extremely windy site or you work in a windy location - do you defer to using a totally granular program (ie no foliar/liquids ) ? Is it feasible or do you end up straight jacketed in what you can do ?

    No idea about that sorry for the derailment but I've just been snowed on!! Then sleet then really ********ing freezing rain so I gave up!
    Hope you get an answer though:)
  • use granular fert and you could use a hood on the sprayer for the herbicide sometimes early morning is usually a lot calmer for the wind

    The granular I use aren't a problem unless it's really badly windy, some of the cheaper fertilisers might be a problem if they are dusty.

    Most of my lawns are spot treated for weeds unless they are a new client, in which case you need to leave until suitable conditions.

    The real problem is the forecast in general...

    Haven't really got any impossibly windy sites. For herbicides you could use one that is suitable for a very heavy droplet nozzle / high water dose to mitigate drift. As David says, early morning is also generally calmer.

  • If extremely windy I lay off the beans the night before! :)  For liquids try adding Companion Gold on the other hand never really been and issue with granular.
