What happens if you accidentally get a little lawn fertilizer on your vegetable garden?

Question

Will It make you sick? Any Info would Help thanks!!!

Answer 1

Unless there is some weed killer in the fertilizer you have no problem.  Lawn fertilizer and vegetable fertilizer is all the same.  N,P, K , with some micro nutrients.

Answer 2

rNah, its July 2, you're not harvesting yet. Water well but only on dry days, not when its clouded over and you're fine. The only thing that might happen is the plants energy will go to the geen not the fruit. Most of the lawn fertilizer is nitrogen based anyhow, it will disipate once it gets wet.. You have nothing to worry about. Except maybe, you just fertilized your weeds.

Answer 3

If you look on the bag of fertilizer, it may say not to use near edible plants.  If not, there's probably nothing to worry about.

Your veggies might see more foliage than fruit, since lawn fertilizer promotes lush green growth.

Answer 4

It may not be the best type of fertilizer for your veggies, but won't hurt them or you as long as it's just fertilizer & doesn't have weed killer or insecticide in it. If it has weed killer wash it off the plants, most of the granular kinds work only when they stick to the leaves. If it has insecticide, check the label for the active ingredient & do some research on it. Chances are, no harm done, but when you're eating it you want to be sure.
