Reader’s Question
My husband accidentally burnt a section of our front lawn with fertiliser (rain was imminent, but then didn’t fall). We’re hoping that it will recover; any advice?

JJ’s Answer
Cut the grass very short, sprinkle with lawn dressing and water well – and then hold thumbs! Unfortunately, it will take quite a while before your grass is green again.
