Hi there, 2 days ago I've over-fed my grass with feed (grass burn I believe it's called) and it's gone black / brown in places (see attached photo). I've been watering heavily since as this is what I was told to do. Is there anything else I can do to revive or is it dead and needs to be re-seeded completely?

Thanks!

Ah. My husband did the same thing! Huge swathes of dead and brown grass. It was left for a couple of weeks before reseeding. He raked over the dead bits, and then reseeded adding some fine lawn compost, kept it watered and now it's all recovering well.

I did this last year when the box of lawn treatment had a hole in the bottom as I walked around the lawn it delivered far to much in some areas which was followed by a dry period.
I too had black patches which after a couple of weeks I reseeded this did not work, so I waited another 6 weeks to make sure the treatment was not still lingering and then reseeded which took well.
