I just recently dug up my front lawn to put in a circular driveway and I lined my driveway with pretty rocks.. Well the grass has grown over my rocks so a friend told me to spray Round Up..So I sprayed on the line right next to the rocks with the stream on the nozzle.. The Round Up has moved across my grass and is killing my beautiful plants.. :( Help!! What can I do to save them?? Obviously a few are toast but some are struggling and maybe could make it.. I sprayed this killer 2 weeks ago. Should I use Miracle Grow to help the plants that are farther away from the line? I have centipede grass. I assume the killer spread under ground.. Didn't realize it would do that just thought it would stay in its area.
Roundup Quik Pro is a great product for controlling weeds with spot sprays but it will kill anything it touches. While using Miracle-Gro may help to an extent, there isn't a way to reverse the effects of roundup once its been absorbed by a plant. The best thing to do now is wait and then reseed with centipede grass in the areas that died off around the driveway. You may want to look at putting a pre-emergent down that will help prevent weeds from coming up this fall and the following spring so less spot treating is needed. A pre-emergent like Dimension 2EW or Prodiamine 65 would both work very well for your needs.
