Q. My grass looks awful! Is it brown patch?
A. If you're seeing large circles in your lawn, by now, it's a little late to do much. Brown patch is a fungus, and it likes moist, cool conditions. When you over-fertilize your lawn and really push it with lush, green growth late in the season, you're just asking for brown patch problems. Now, it's sort of like a wildfire. It's easy to prevent, but once it's blazing full blast, it's hard to stop. The good news is that it simply rots the leaves off the runner, and doesn't kill the grass itself. It will return again in spring. For details on how to prevent brown patch and address it early on, visit John Dromgoole's tips.
