NFT: Lawn Fungus

we got is the reason. Fungus thrives on moisture and we had a ton of it.

....the last couple of years. This year especially because of all the rain - when the turf bed is constantly wet and you can’t mow with the required frequency, then temps rise, it kind of creates and incubator for it and can be made worse if you do heavy fertilizer applications in early spring.

I’ve found fungicides to be hit or miss. It should start to let up (in terms of active fungus) now that were getting drier weather. Then the growth encouraged by the late spring/early summer fert should grow out the damage. Mine was mostly gone after I put down my late May Milorganite application.

Add limescale with a lawn spreader to lower the pH. Rain is acidic and compiles over time. A cheap solution to a problem that landscapers will overbill you for.

Do it yourself and see the results.

Your welcome. :)

I have a tester for the lawn PH and it was a little off. I added the lime in the early spring. It may be a good idea to put down another pass with the spreader.

high temps and excessive rain. There are lawn treatment products that deal with it. google.
