| In very early March I applied Jonathon Greene Mag-i-Cal. A few weeks later it seemed like my lawn was getting the slight appearance of bands of slight green.
At the very end of March I noticed that everyone's lawn in my neighborhood was greening up more than mine so I applied JG crabgrass preventer with Greenup. Now it seems the bands are more pronounced than before. I used a drop spreader for both applications. Could it be that I rushed the Mag-i-cal application and didn't make tight passes? It was hard to judge where to make each pass because we've had a very dry Spring here in NJ and the grass is well, dry and wheelmarks from the spreader are not very visible. |

| What rate did you apply the lime? And yes, if you didn't overlap per the drop spreader's instructions, you left gaps. Pics? |
|
| will it even out over time, or should I apply the Mag-i-cal to the lighter areas to even it out? |

| "will it even out over time, or should I apply the Mag-i-cal to the lighter areas to even it out? Ah, I don't know. I don't know how much lime or fertilizer you applied. Did a soil test call for lime? Then, I don't know if an over application of lime caused chlorosis, and lighter stripes. Or if an over application of fertilizer caused dark stripes. I'll bow out to more experienced peoples. |

| Sorry. Meant to also reply to the "Will it even out?" question. Yes. Eventually it will. Above post was in regards to corrective measures, which I'm unsure about. |

| Here's a photo of what it looks like from a 2nd floor bedroom. The yellow diagonal line is a result of a recent cable burial. The striping was noticed before I added the greenup.

| Absolutely over fertilized, I have seen that many times, it will mellow out. Another fert will speed that up |
