Too much lawn feed

19.5K Posts


I put down some Aftercut All-in-one lawn feed and moss killer yesterday but I didn't check the setting on my lawn spreader and ended up putting too much down. I tried to water it down to dilute the affect but still ended up with quite a lot of dark brown patches over half of the lawn by the evening, I know some of it is probably moss but I'm afraid I've damaged the lawn as well. Is there anything I can do now other than to wait for a week until it's full affect has passed and then rake it all out? I do have a scarifier I can use.

The solution to pollution is dilution.
Someone not to far away, once filled a miracle grow feeder with weedkiller granules instead of feed granules and merrily "fed" all her plants leaves with it. Once she realised 2hrs later she had to spray all the plants with fresh water, the plants all survived!
After waiting 18 months for the dead patches to show any sign of re-growth, I've now re-seeded said patches with grass seed!
Even though everyone told me it would be really, really unusual to have killed off grass permanently, I still managed it
