Default I may have murdered my lawn..

hi
I've recently moved into a new house with a garden, which is a first for me.
The lawn was in bad shape, mossy, bald patches, uneven growth, ( a bit like
me actually). I was advised to use a lawn feed which would nourish and
revitalise whilst killing off the weeds. I think I may have sprinkled out
too much because the grass first turned black and is now turning white. The
lawn is now covered in black and white and green stripes due to my uneven
sprinkling.
Half of the lawn stays in permanent shade and this half looks the worst.
Will the lawn recover from this and how can I help it


Yes, it will recover . . . eventually!!!
Just water it and mow what tufts there are on a high cut when it gets
too long and by the end of the summer you will have some grass
again!!!!!!!!! Then try top dressing it this coming autumn and next
spring you should be back to square one ))
