Any way to reverse the effect of Lawn Weed Killer accidentally sprayed on flower bed ?

Answer 1

A "weed killer" is a contact herbicide. If it was a broad leaf weed killer then most - bit not all ornamentals would be safe - water, water, water, is the only thing you can do but if the chemical is dried and depending on the strength - even if it isn't it can be to late. The good side is even when you water it, unlike what some folks have posted- you don't have to worry about your soil. In fact once it is dried you can plant right away. Most of the folks here at the site mean good but have not gone to college to learn about chemicals, turf, ornamentals, and soil management. Depending on the zone you live in you could plant some hardy annuals and still enjoy them, if it is a woody perennial I would wait till next year to see if it has been truly killed. For more information if you live in the US contact your local county extension office - that is the actual name...if you can't find county extension office in the white pages then email the folks at your state's Department Of Agriculture for the phone number to your county extension office. Of course you will have to tell them what county you live in. These folks are scientist and help farmers and nurseries, as well as the normal home owner. Depending on your home owner or business insurance and your deductible - the flower garden may be able to be reported and you may be able to get compensation. If it was a professional service that you actually paid for then they are suppose to carry liability insuraance (I carry 1,000,000) talk to the company about placing a claim.

Watering it away won't do any good. That would just carry the chemicals to the flowering plants' roots faster. Maybe mix in some organic compost just so you have some good stuff in there to minimize the effects.

And try an organic program for the lawn so that you won't have this problem in the future. Some weeds in the lawn are ok because it increases the diversity of plant and animal life in the soil. Maybe put some pre-emergent products (like corn gluten meal) out in early spring and late fall so that you can keep the weeds from germinating in the first place.

Sorry to say but you most likely killed them, I did the same thing not realizing the power of the weed killer mine did not come back the following year. You should though hose the area down real good to rid yourself of the remaining weed killer. Best in future to yank the weed by the root.

Answer 6

Try removing a few inches of the topsoil and replenish with compost and fertilizer. Try planting something and watch it.
Good luck in your gardening.

If you only listen to "specialists" with degrees you may miss out on simple, tried and true ways of others. I actually learned a lot of things about a lot of things after my college experiences. But when someone learns things for the love of it, there is power there that no college experience can top.

Keep an open mind to people's suggestions here. Learning....there is no end.
