How do you repair burnt grass?

Question

I put a weed and feed on my grass last week and now I am finding burnt spots everywhere.

Answer 1

water at night...cut out the destroyed parts and reseed...

Answer 2

Try putting some garden lime on the worst spots, but time itself will heal the grass. I did this, too, as I didn't distribute the fertilizer evenly, and it took a few months, but it did go away on its own (and I didn't put garden lime on it.)

Answer 3

First, did you spread it by hand or a hand crank feeder? Lesson 1. Don't fertilize without a spreader. Water it more, but in even cycles, especially now in the summer.

Answer 4

water it and do not cut too low. if sunlight hits the root of grass it kills it. and if it is a little longer the water will not evaporate so fast so more of it gets to the lawn.

Answer 5

Aw, shucks - you'll have to water & water to try to wash the excess fertilizer off; remove the dead parts & add new seed if the dead patches are large - but keep watering !
