Author	Topic:   Too much Ironite on St. Augustine
kitmit27 Friend	posted 29 September 2009 16:24             I applied Ironite to my St.Augustine lawn last Fall, and apparently used the wrong spreader setting. I put down way too much and my lawn has been a light green color (when I have been allowed to water) instead of a healthy dark green. Is there anything I can do to help it recover, or will it just take time? IP: Logged

You don't mention any problems but if you're seeing yellowing or dieoff it may be other unrelated issues such as fungus or insects. If by chance it has caused a tieup of other elements that will pass as rain leaches out the excess iron. IP: Logged
