I have killed my new lawn!!

[Galaxy66]

Be very careful using "Verdone" lawn weedkiller

I expect this to be a totally dead brown colour when I return in a weeks time.

It looks better than my lawn does at the minute !

It looks evenly applied, but judging by the nearer lawn, it's only killed the moss and clover. A good rake then let the grass grow under your feet

They are the more resilient weeds you can can see, this is what it looks like close up

Looks like napalm to me.

Dont worry it does that! Maybe you should have put it on a few months back *** when the lawn was in its fast growing season!
I used this stuff on mine, raked all the dead stuff out, then watered it, and about a week later put lawn sand on, job done! Will take about a month, but it will look really green if you do it right!

Done exactly the same myself a couple of years ago! Replaced it with gravel

That is only half of the new bit, the other half around the corner to the right which you can't see I did first and that is ok, but I had a bit left over when I finished the second half and used it all up for good measure.

I did exactly the same thing a couple of years ago with weedol

Now I aim for the lovely lush moss and clover look, it's soooooo much easier

I wish I wasn't worried, but I have used agricultural herbicides frequently and the results are identical.

Thanks, never thought of that although it still does not look as green as the rest of the lawn

There was a groundsman at a golf club in the south side of Glasgow who mistakenly treated the greens with weedkiller instead of feed.
He got the Bum's Rush!

A couple of years ago my mother-in-law came round to do some gardening at our place after deciding we were useless. After doing a lovely job of the borders around our pond ,she decided she didn't like the grass on our lawn as it was " poor quality"( what ever that means) and then put Roundup all over it and left! (bit odd my mother-in-law).

Still dead.
