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 ?

Should it be treated with a fungiside ?

Hope some of you seasoned experts can point me in the right direction
on this one.

Thanks. Bas.

1 tonne of 4'oxyglutarazine 2-methyl propionic acid to the acre sees
of fungi in double quick time but do not allow any pets on the area
for 16 months and make sure not to do it within 3 miles of any human
habitation. Failing that, remove all topsoil, down to a depth of 1.2
metres and relay with astroturf. Alternatively, leave it till next
spring and if it is still there put a statue, bird bath, deck chair or
garden gnome over the patch. Further alternative (and this is the
cheapest and least stressful alternative) is to do absolutely nothing
unless it becomes a problem (e.g. causes bad diseases, encourages
badgers to undermine house, causes neighbours to laugh out loud, makes
children embarrassed).
