I put out some iron sulphate on the lawn about 3 weeks ago. I forgot to close the spreader when I was filling it and a large amount poured out on the lawn where I was filling it. I cleaned it up as best I could, but now 3 weeks later there is a large dead spot in the lawn. The rest of the lawn has grown really well but there is zero life on this spot.

Is there anything I can do to recover this spot?
