Growing grass where a tree was removed
I live on Houghton Lake in Roscommon County, and I am having trouble trying to grow grass in a spot where I had a large Maple tree removed last September (2019). The tree stump was ground down to below ground level and the resulting hole (almost 10' in diameter) was filled with clean fill dirt. However, I am having very little success in trying to grow grass in this spot, which I reseeded last fall and again this spring. A neighbor has told me that my difficulty is due to the many tree roots that remain and are rotting below where the tree stood. Is this true? I was planning to cultivate the area this coming fall with a roto-tiller, removing any remaining roots that I find, and trying to plant seed and grow grass again. Are the remaining tree roots really my problem, and will my plan to roto-till the area and reseed be successful? Thank you.

Growing grass at Higgins Lake, MI
I have a cottage on Higgins Lake, Mi. My lawn has quite a bit of shade. Although having it fertilized and watered, it has been difficult to grow grass. I am considering trying to fix bare spots. I have tried to do this without much success over the years. Is it worth taking the black soil and mixing in compost with it? Is it going to make a difference? What kind of grass seed should be used? Thanks Patty Dennis

Rhizoctonia on staghorn fern
My staghorn fern has dark splotches on its shield. Is it rhizoctonia? If so, how should I treat it, and how do I avoid it in the future? If it's not rhizoctonia, can you tell me what it is? Thank you, Rebecca
