misapplication of crabgrass preventer


Question
A week ago, I applied a crabgrass preventer/lawn food (K-gro) product to my yard.  I wasn't paying careful attention at first to notice that the part that regulates the flow of material was broken, and I was applyin way too much product to the grass, probably a bit over twice as much as called for.  Is there an antidote to my misttake?

Answer
Water heavily. That's about all you can do now. Keep watering and the product will be diluted somewhat. If it is just 2X the normal rate, you're probably not going to lose any grass, but you WILL be mowing an awful lot for a month or two as the grass goes nuts with that heavy burst of fertilizer.

Good luck!
