My lawn got hammered by what I also believe to be snow mold. It came out of
it's first winter great but got creamed this time. From what I have read
there are 2 contributing factors. One is a high nitrogen feeding prior to
winter, this is my last time for Scott's winterizer. I don't plan to do any
feeding after mid September. The second factor is less in our control and
that is getting snow cover before the ground freezes hard. This seems to say
that with a blanket of insulation the mold has a party with all that
nitrogen. These are just pieces I'm putting together so take them for what
it's worth.

Pete

Every winter I get a type of winter mold that kills off large patches of
my
grass. Its is a sun and shade mixture for the northeast. I understand how
to
prevent the mold by putting down expensive amounts of systemic fungicide
just before the grass goes dormant. If I don't put it down as I didn't
last
year the mold returns and my lawn is very damaged. I want to know how to
cure it once and for all. Even if its an expensive cure, in the long run
it
would be cheap compared to the 120 $ application of fungicide every fall.
Thanks a bunch William
