My otherwise good looking lawn has brown grass, almost looks like straw
, mixed in with it not in any particular pattern. A few weeks ago, the
entire lawn was a deep dark green. Now some is green and some is this
brown grass or the edges are brown. Any ideas/explanations. Could it be
the unusual amount of rain we have gotten along the north east. Any
observations appreciated. Thanks
John
What kind of grass?
How much rain?
Your lawn may have some sort of fungus.
Most lawns in N Ohio have at least a little red thread disease since the
dew point went up to 70. (to be expected) A feeding helps control it most
times but a fungicide will make it be gone fairly quick. (expensive)

Chinch bug and webworm are on the prowl now too, here in N Ohio.
ps. now is the time to prevent grubs.. in case anyone forgot
