Grass fungus? #873313
Asked June 16, 2024, 1:01 PM EDT
By this time each year, after raking away the dead grass my lawn gives way to a typical green lawn. That hasn't happened this year and the yellow grass is expanding. I sprayed Bio Advanced Insect, Disease & Plant Mite control on the lawn twice in the last 10 days but the dead areas continue to grow.
Any ideas on how to bring my lawn back to life and stop the spread?
Thank you!

Hi James,
Thanks for your question.
After looking at the pictures that you sent, you have done all that you might have done to mitigate any mite or fungal problem. Lets start by eliminating any irrigation issues. I will send you a tutorial that will help you determine if that section of your lawn is getting enough water. I'm also sending you a fact sheet on basic lawn care.
