Roundup Burn Spots & Weeds: Topsoil + Seed for Patches

New home, acre lot. Spring dandelions. Spot-sprayed Roundup → 20–30 dead spots. Lime + Preen 2x helped weeds slightly. Fix burn spots cheaply.

Patch Repair

1. ½" topsoil on each dead spot.
2. Sprinkle seed, rake lightly.
3. Water daily (no rain days).

Summer Results Modest; Fall Fills In

Heat slows germination. Whatever misses now catches up in fall.

Future: Selective Herbicides Only

"Weed & Feed" or spot-spray broadleaf killers (2,4-D etc.)—won't hurt grass.

Roundup on lawn = total kill. Selective = weed-only kill.
