Aftercut all in one overdose!

Im a novice gardener, and having recently moved into a house I wanted to get the front lawn in better shape, as it's full of moss and weeds. I treated it with Aftercut all in one- and I think I've put twice as much down as I should have- I'm now panicking that I've killed my lawn! Can anyone advise what's best to do? I know I need to rake the dead moss and weeds away but I'm expecting it to look pretty awful when it takes effect as it was so badly covered in moss to start with. Any advice gratefully received!

Oh dear! You are not the only one to have posted about overfeeding or such on here.
There will be others along with advice. I have done similar.
'You must have some bread with it me duck!'
Even if you've applied it correctly, parts of the lawn will go black where the moss is being killed.
However, if you're sure you've over applied, give the lawn as much water as you can bear without turning it into glue, to dilute it. Then cross your fingers and wait.
You're not the first and you won't be the last ....... we'll cross our fingers for you.

Thank you very much! Fingers crossed!
I've just overdosed my lawn but by 10 times the recommended amount. Is my lawn facing a slow and painful death. Is he best advice to water it?
Does anyone read the directions on the box, ? They do tell you how to apply for a reason.
Water it as per above instructions.
Slow no; you will notice the effects quite quickly. Water it regularly but remember that the poison will be going elsewhere in your garden such as flower beds so your flowers might also suffer.
Oh dear. Thanks for your response. Pat
