AboutLong Island Gardener Expertise How to grow the Perfect Lawn? If you live in the Northeast/Atlantic Coast, I have intelligent answers on grass selection, fertilizers, soil care, weed control, and lawnmowers. Although I have degrees in related fields, a person's real gardening skills are learned from trial and error. More important, I am strict about not using chemicals in the garden. Organic gardening is not just earth friendly and healthier for you, your children and your pets. It's less expensive and easier. You read that right. Less expensive and easier.

Question I sprayed ortho weed b gone on my lawn and it turned brown. Is there any chance the lawn will turn green again? What could I do? How long will it take to recover?
Answer Here we go again with the Weed B Gone disaster questions. Sorry to hear your sad tale of woe with this lawnbuster. Tell me please the kind of Grass you are growing and where that would be in the world. Meantime, drench, drench, drench that poison into the water system so that it can be washed into the water system and we can drink it for breakfast. OK... It's getting late, just flush as much as possible and see if you get lucky. It's worth a try. That's the standard save-my-Grass routine when people beg Scotts for a reprieve after they put too much of a bad thing on their Lawns. Scotts gives you your money back. I don't know what the Ortho policy is, but it's small potatoes compared to what you spent growing your Lawn.
