I applied too much fertilizer to my lawn. What should I do?

Wilson Lawn Garden Home Pest Control Weed Insect Disease Rat...
Water thoroughly (at least an inch) for 4 consecutive days. There is no guarantee that this will work, but taking these steps may reduce potential damage. Lawn damage from too much fertilizer or spilled fertilizer is often caused by excessive salts in the soil. Adding Gypsum can help neutralize the salts.

Question: How do I control weeds from growing on my lawn if a natural fertilizer does not kill them?

Frequently Asked Questions
Answer: To control weeds, you can over-seed your lawn twice a year (early spring & early fall) to help prevent weed growth. Mowing your lawn high (4-inches or more) shades out most weed seeds and prevents them from germinating, while also slowing growth (for less frequent mowing) and strengthening the immune system of the grass. Keeping your grass unstressed by providing proper light, water, and nutrients will produce a crop of very thick turf.

What is slow release fertilizer and what are the advantages of using it over other lawn fertilizers?

Frequently Asked Questions
Slow release fertilizers are actually microscopic coated capsules of fertilizer that breakdown and release their important fertilizer and trace elements over a long period of time. This ensures that your lawn's root system gets those nutrients in measured doses that won't over-stimulate the plants into a sudden growing spurt requiring more mowing.

If I fertilize my lawn, why should I use a phosphorus-free fertilizer?

City of Melrose, MN: Frequently Asked Questions / FAQ's
Phosphorus from fertilizers runs off lawns and ends up in area wetlands, ponds, and lakes where it promotes algae growth. Algae can damage or kill the water body's eco-system. The make-up of all fertilizers is indicated by a series of three numbers on the package. The middle number indicates the amount of phosphorus the fertilizer contains. Look for a middle number of "0" to be sure you are buying a phosphorus-free fertilizer.

Since the lawn benefits from a late fall fertilizer, should I also fertilize the trees and shrubs?

Ferta Lawn
Although lawns benefit greatly from a late fall fertilizer, trees and shrubs do not. The fertilizer, which is mainly nitrogen, encourages new shoot growth in woody plants. Encouraging new growth at the end of the growing season may allow a greater chance of winter damage. Late fall pruning is also not recommended, unless the branches are damaged or my break to a heavy snow load. Grass clippings do not make good mulch for roses.

This is a tough one to answer, because fertilization is so tremendously tied to water quality, potting medium, temperature, light and a variety of other factors. However, if you just have a few plants, and don't want to fuss around a lot learning about the intricacies of water and fertilizer, I'd simply suggest you get any reasonably balanced 'orchid' fertilizer, that is low in urea, and use it at approximately 1/4 to1/2 the label strength every other watering.

Horsetails Have Invaded My Lawn. What Will Get Rid of Them Without Hurting My Lawn?

WSU Master Gardener: Frequently Asked Questions -- Lawns
Horsetail control is difficult. The best management for it in lawn is constant mowing that keeps the plants down. This does leave the problem of the altered texture in the lawn where the horsetails come up, but short mowing will reduce that. In theory, if the plants are constantly mowed, they weaken. They are, however, long-lived and persistent no matter what measures are taken. There are no chemicals registered to control these weeds in a lawn.
