Question
I sprayed weed b gone on my lawn and it turned brown. I have been soaking it everyday but the grass looks really burned. Is my lawn never going to come up again? What schedule could I follow or what could I put to help it? How long would it take to recover?

Answer
I would be curious to know how long the weed killer has sat on the grass, and how extensive the damage is. If the roots still have green in them or the base of the grass spears (depending on the type of grass you have) are still green at the base, I suggest that you mow a bit shorter the next time you mow and 'remove the evidence' of homeowner mishap. [tongue in cheek] If there is not evidence of green in either the root or growth stem at the base of the grass leaf, you may have to either reseed or re-sod those areas affected.

Scotts Weed and Weed is one of the best products for dealing with weeds in most lawns. You will need to check on the precautions typically found on the back of the bags for what grasses it is affective for and what weeds are affected by it.

A footnote on the possible life that remains in the lawn would be to get some peters liquid fertilizer and use it in your lawn sprayer to help revitalize your affected areas. I personally recommend milorganite for homeowners wanting to flush out the growth of their lawn (6-2-0), BUT if your root system has been damage in the lawn you are fertilizing, Peters is the best solution to first aid for the affected areas.

Another note,... your grass does not need to be soaked everyday. get a tuna fish can and put it on the area you are watering, when the can is filled from the sprinkler, stop watering. When the can is empty from evaporation, water again. Too much water can cause fungus and root rot in grasses that are healthy,... how much more for a crimpled lawn?

Please let me know if I can be of any more help or encouragement.

Blessings!
