Default Scotts Weed Control Fertilizer Killed Our Lawn!! Brooklyn1....

We used 10,000 square feet of fertilizer, on a 2,500 square foot lawn,
so this shows that our 10 to 12 year old drop spreader malfunctioned,
and it put down way too much fertilizer.


We will follow your advice, and give the lawn plenty of water, and hope
that the roots can regenerate, and HOPEFULLY some Green grass will start
to grow back!?


Thread is amusing. Fault is yours for not knowing how much lawn you
have and for not checking spreader setting. You're always better off
having to open spreader up as you go along or having to walk about more
as too much fertilizer can brown lawn.

Personally I'd ditch the Scots plan. They make you a slave to your lawn
making you spread stuff 5 times a year and their stuff is expensive.
