Hi-
I mixed up the bottles and sprayed our garden with scotts lawn builder with plus 2 weed control. (http://scottsturfbuilder.blogspot.com/2012/07/scotts-co-5620160-scotts-liquid-turf.html) I sprayed the plants for about 2 min before i realized my mistake. I immediately sprayed them with water for like 10 min. Is it possible to save the garden and eat the veggies or do i need to dig the all out.
Thanks for your help.

Expert Response
While we understand that it was an accident, it is important to read the label before spraying. Here is the label for the product. It recommends not to spray on vegetable beds: http://www.scotts.com/smg/products/Scotts/lawn_fertilizer/feed_and_control_weeds/pdf/Liquid_Turf_Builder_Plus_2.pdf
We recommend that you should not eat the vegetables that have been contaminated. Pulling the plants and disposing of them in the trash would probably be best.
