Help please!! weed and feed disaster!
HI,
Please can someone offer advice? I'm a fairly accomplished gardener but seem to have bad luck with our lawn. We put weed and feed down last week, following instructions to the tee. However, the day after applying it, a lot of our lawn has turned black! It would seem that the distributor did not distribute it evenly, you can see the stripes where it has poured out rather than sprinkled evenly and it has obviously overdosed on some areas. We have sprinkled lawn seed (very generously) over these patches. Do you think our grass will ever return? Is there anything else we can do to help it recover? I've never seen black grass before!! We are due to hold a relative's 60th party in a few weeks (in the hope we will be in the garden with fine weather!) and really want it to look anywhere near how it did before! I'd rather have weeds than this! Many thanks! I'd appreciate your advice. |

You over fertilized, and if you have stripes you are likely using a drop spreader, get rid of it and buy a broadcast spreader, and set it for about half the suggested application. But for right now water your lawn till it purty near drowns and don't apply any chemical, it should recover in about two weeks. |
