I'm a new homeowner and pretty inexperienced with gardening. At the
beginning of Spring when my lawn was overrun with dandelions and weeds,
I ran out to Kmart and bought a 50lb bag of weed n feed. I stupidly
didn't read the instructions figuring I couldn't do much hard because it
was a "feed". Well, I was definitely wrong. I "spread" it with a cup
and dumped a whole cup on areas of large weeds. Well, needless to say,
and much to my horror, have many large patches of brown dead grass!!!
It just looks horrible!

At this point, is there anything at all I can do aside from digging up
the many dead patches and re-seeding? Is there any chance that the
grass will grow there again?



In my opinion, you'll have to dig the soil out of the affected areas and
replace the soil and seed it. If theres a lot of damage, it might be in
your best intrest to thatch the lawn, replace the affected soil and start
the lawn over again. Sorry you had such a bad time with the weed&feed.
Remember to Always read the bag and to Always follow the application
instructions. Generally, below the application directions you'll find a
listing of 'rules/guidelines. These are the federal laws that goveren the
use and application of the product.
