beginners at the moment so i may be posting quite often on here,


A Theory:
The stripes are grass that has been flattened along the ground. It will tend to
continue to grow along the ground, rather that upward. Over time, you may find
that the grass stems lie flat on the ground, and the leaves are short compared
to the stems. Raking or otherwise disturbing the lawn can lift the stems, and
the next mowing may leave no leaf on the stems.
