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
Why not charge gate-money for folk to come and have a look at the
spectacle?
