Spraying Humic DG

I have a bag of Humic DG. I was thinking about using my spreader for part of it and for the other part dissolving in water to spray. Is spraying a waste of effort/time?

PS I have a dfw_wand and now any day I'm expecting a Solo 475-B Deluxe backpack sprayer to arrive with which I'll promptly need something to spray. That's where the Humic DG idea came from.

Thanks for the feedback,

I have humic powder that I sprayed last summer and fall.....but I still ordered a bag of Anderson's humic dg granular.
IMO, spreading is waaayyy easier, less messy, and faster. I also over did the concentration when I sprayed last fall and some juvenile grass turned neon green and sent me on a poa tizzy.

I'd find something else to spray. I put a teejet nozzle & cf valve on my backpack sprayer and plan to time myself & flow rate in the driveway with water before using products.
