Hi ti you all.
I laid a seeded turf lawn a month ago and have noticed in the last
week
that it has about a dozen small patches (around 4" circles) of what
looks like mildew.It also has that earthey smell that a associate
with
mildew.
I live in the South-east of England.
The lawn is East facing and only 50 square metres in size.It dosn`t
have any obvious shaded areas,though it dosn`t get a great deal of
sun
this time of the year anyway.
I never had this problem with my old lawn.(which was mainly weeds
anyway.)
Can anybody give me any ideas of the cause of this.
Might it be something else ?

When you say mildew, does it look like powdery mildew?

Or does it look like slime?
Cheers Steveo.
The picture looks pretty close to the problem.
Had a good look this morning and in the areas effected the grass is
yellow/brown,a bit Slimey and dead.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

Sounds like it could be dollar spot?
How could one confuse powdery mildew for dollar spot? They look nothing at
all similar.
