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)

Oh yeah baking soda will cure the red thread disease, and your daddy's
gout.
