Don't know if it is rust or not. When you walk through the grass with white
tennis shoes, does the front of them turn orange? That is a sure sign of
rust. Rust is a common signal of low nitrogen. I would fertilize.

Good luck!

I've been told by my garden centre guy that I've got rust on my lawn.
He's given me ant killer as he reckons this is the cause - not over
watering or lack of nutrients.
I've followed the instructions yet have seen no improvement (over 2
months) Nor have I seen many ants!
The symptoms are as follows, the blades of the grass get small marks on
them and then seem to lose their colour until finally dying.
I have two variants of lawn and only the Kikuyu lawn seems affected
whereas the Buffalo isn't effected at all.

Does this sound like lawn rust? Any idea as to what I can do to over
come the problem. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,
Suzie.
