I recently fed my lawn with a soluble lawn feed

What should I do to avoid this problem next time? More dilute?
Invest
in a spray attachment for the hose? Switch to a dry feed like
Growmore?

Either as you suggested, 1/2 the strength and double back over the lawn
area
or switch to a good organic dry fertiliser. Better still, water with a
liquid fertiliser when the ground is moist as that will help the
fertiliser
soak in.


Thanks for the tips -- any suggestions on what constitutes "a good
organic
dry fertiliser"?

Blood, fish and bonemeal is a balanced organic fertiliser which is used as
an alternative to "Growmore" . The former is a slower release fertiliser.
Pelleted chicken manure can be powdered and used as a high nitrogen feed
for
lawns.

Both of those I use although I don't powder the dried poop fertiliser. I am
also experimenting with used coffee grounds, a 3-1-2 mix so use 2-3 times
the amount of pelletised poop fertiliser.
