Miracle Gro Overkill!

19 years ago

We just bought 3 bushes - I'm not sure what kind they are. They get about 3 feet tall and 4 feet wide - they bloom small yellow flowers. Anyway, my husband got Miracle Gro spray happy and killed them within in 3 days. Like some men, he didn't read the directions and sprayed them with Miracle Gro that attaches to the hose 3 days in a row and fried them! They look, almost dead! Is there any way to save them?

Water water and more water....wash that stuff off and out of the soil as well as you can....
They may not survive...but probably they will....but lots of water will help a lot!
