It could be just the time of year. Even if you have Brown Patch or
one of the other turf grass problems, it is probably not the right
time of year to treat for it. I would just give you lawn a healthy
dose of winterizer fertilizer. Something with phosphorus, trace
elements and soil conditioners like sulfur.

The best thing to fertilize a lawn with is not a chemical fertilizer per
se but instead cow, horse or chicken manure. Composted manure is the best
because the weed seeds have been 'burnt up' during the composting period.
Any of the above manures will have all the nutrients that your lawn can use.
Besides the nutrients, they have food for the worms. Worms work 24-7 but
they need some food to eat. Chemical fertilizers don't feed them. Manure
will.
I personally use raw chicken manure that comes mixed with sawdust. There
are lumps that sit on the surface until the rains soften them and I put on
my West Coast cowboy boots (rubber boots) and give the lumps a kick that
spreads the manure 'all over the place'! Which is what I want.
Well, that's what I do. It might work for you also.
