Question
I recently treated my lawn with 'CIL Golfgreen 3-in-1 Lawn Thickening Mix', a few days later I noticed large crystals have formed on my lawn (1/2", looks like hail)  Is this a result of the fertilizer, and is it harmful to kids/pets?

Answer
Mike
I have never used that kind of fertilizer, but I need to know; did you follow the directions? Sounds like the crystals might be some of the fertilizer that did not dissolve and get set in the soil.Try putting water on them. I would worry about kids picking them up and tasting them. Pets more than likely will not bother them.
Good luck,
Richard
