I could scream they are wrecking my lawn and i have tried all the
suggestions in the website someone kindly posted a while
back............what clever idiot in the EU banned the chemicals that
would
deal with it .........I would like him to see the mess of my lawn its
heartbreaking
Sure wish I knew someone with a hidden store of the banned chemicals

Can you confirm that you are actually seeing fungi of some sort?. Fairy
rings are not destructive and only mildly unsightly, even on a fine lawn.
I ask because I was recently asked to see such rings and they were
actually 'bitch-marks'!! These would be about 18" diameter with dead grass
in the centre and dark green grass at the edges. Do bitches have access to
your lawn?
Fairy rings can be from feet across, to hundreds of yards in diameter.
They go on for ever, unless a physical barrier intrudes.
Best Wishes Brian.

Definitely not bitch marks ........been there done that
Get mushrooms
Original ring is 10ft accros and
Next one is a 4ft semi circle
others are smaller but new ones developing fast
The soil is bare in the rings with deeper green grass growing stronger at
the edges
What beats me is what is decaying underneath to have caused this
The only tree that was removed had all roots traced and dug out
Have dug out the circles to a depth of 1ft
treated with armillotox put in fresh soil and new turfs .........6 months
later back to square one and worse
