| You might be seeing RED THREAD in your lawn. |
   With wet lawns, cloudy weather and the right temperatures, we can see diseases pop up this time of the year. This appears as small reddish/brown areas in the lawn but they will go away. The good news is that this is not permanent. The grass will push out new growth with dry, sunny weather. Here are some other tips that can help. 1. Try to mow only when the grass is dry to prevent spreading. 2. Avoid cutting more often once a week. 3. Do not run irrigation in the evenings. 4. Overseed this fall. Newer grass varieties are developed to have more disease resistance than older varieties. If you haven’t seeded in the last 5 years then this will improve color, disease and drought tolerance. |
