    Has anyone else had a strange experience with this product ?
    The lawn was weed free but now has mushrooms growing in it!

    Sounds like it killed weeds and fungi are feeding on the dead matter.

    This should help

    Did you scrape the dead material out of the lawn ? Your supposed to wait 2 weeks after applying the Evergreen and then scape out all of the dead material so your grass can restablish itself. Pain in the ass but worth it!

    What sort of a stupid suggestion is that to make to someone ? Some people might actually take you serious, are you trying to kill them :mad:

    no fear of me eating them .. Hence why I suggested I have dogs that I'd rather not have to bring to the vet.

    I used that stuff before, did wonders for the grass, was very green and lush and no weeds.

    I have not used it in a while as I have a dog and really it needs to be dug, but I have noticed some mushrooms appearing recently too, not something I ever noticed before.
    I assumed that spores were feeding on the dogs waste as Id never seen them before. I really need a strong rake to rake out the dead grass anyway, but I usually clear up the dogs mess every few days and try to keep the grass cut.

    I intend to keep a seperate area for the dog and dig the parts that are patchy or dog dig,the whole lot if the former is unsuccessful at reviving it.

    Anyone any tips for applying something that kills parasites in the ground where dogs waste has been without destroying the existing grass? ie something can apply across the entire lawn really?, I read certain parasites from dog waste can live in the ground for years and I want to convert it for use for a play area.
