| Like an idiot I used Scotts fertilizer Bonus S. Not only does it cause severe lawn damage to the fescue and rye that I used to have, but I used twice as much as I was supposed to. I want to go organic and have a healthy lawn. Can someone please tell me how to straighten this mess out and how do I get started in being organic? :cry: |

Ouch :!:
I guess you are now "$ broker." :roll:
Mow low and discard clipping. Do not compost. :!:
Add about 1/2" of a good grade of compost. Lawn area in SqFt x .04 = CuFt required. 1 CuYd = 729 CuFt
Water down weekly with Medina-Plus and add in some liquid molasass. 1-2 Tbs per gallon.
Lightly mulch to hold moisture and keep the soil cool. 8)
When you mow whatever pops up, cut it with a mulching mower and leave the clippings on the lawn.
Others will have more suggestions for you. Check the "lawn" section. |
