My lawn is dying.
See

and the next one.

I knew this would happen when I treated it with feed and weed
about 6 weeks ago, hardly any rain since.

Same here, and I've even resorted to watering mine to slow down
the change to brown. Had a slight shower the other night after
I cleaned the car, always works! But driving around the next
morning we noticed all around got a lot more of the wet stuff
than us, our roads were dry yet 10 miles away there were large
puddles everywhere.

Sadly my watering power is somewhat restricted as my well pump
packed up a while back. Two weeks ago the manufacturers sent DHL
to pick it up but no sign of a return yet. We seem to have a
microclimate here, no rain in Leyburn but downpours in the next
dale where my wife works. It must be something to do with the
hills that surround us.
