1). The fertilizer goes directly to the nearest water source because it travels along hard surface.
2). A much larger quantity is used because they don't want to risk failure (and having to return).
This HOA policy is pure evil compared to the damage caused by a few 'weeds' growing in the burbs, but we all have the things we are passionate about.
You are aware that fertilizer that leaches into the water supply in the form of nitrates is a cause of 'blue baby syndrome', but I suppose green grass without weeds is more important than healthy babies.
