Question
THX..
I am in MD in the Baltimore area.

I was told that I have 90% Tall Fescue w/ 10% Kentucky SOD which was laid back in NOV of last year.

I over did the fertilizing about 2 weeks ago.  Didn't realize that it was kill the grass until 1 week ago.  At first, I thought it was GRUB.  So I put down Grub Killer...

The Grass is DEAD in certain parts already.  Should I go ahead and remove the dead grass (easily done with my hand)?  Or leave it alone?

THanks AGAIN for helping...

Help...

I put in WAY too much.  I started with a spreader and then went to using my hands... Now, it looks like I really burned parts of it.  Its almost Dead in some parts. How can I save the rest of the lawn?

Thanks,
Allen

Water deeply for a while to flush the root zone. This is the best you can do.

Where is your lawn located ? If it is a cool season lawn (in the northern half of USA) then you should never fertilize in summer. Fertilize in late spring, early fall and late fall. Always apply to a dry lawn (leaves are dry, but not draught stressed) and then water in immediately with plenty of water; or apply when rain is expected.

If you use Scott's Turfbuilder, then use maximum 3 lbs per 1000 sq feet lawn area. If you lawn is 5,000 sq feet, you should maximum use 15 lbs (5,000 x (3 / 1000)). If the bag is a 45 lbs bag, then you should meassure out the appropriate amount (in this case 1/3 bag) and set the spreader setting at a low setting. Then run over the lawn multiple times, in various directions until the product is used up.

Answer
In Baltimore, MD with Tall Fescue/KBG grass you have a cool season lawn.

your lawn should be fertilized in late spring, early fall and late fall. Never in summer.

I would leave dead Grass on the lawn until early september, then rake off, loosen top layers of soil and spread grass seeds. Keep seed bed moist at all times until germination (sprouting). Do not allow seeds to dry out.
