orange grass
I've lived in this home for 6 summers now and this is the first time I've seen this: orange grass. I googled it, and apparently it's "rust". Trying to think of what might be different this year to cause it. Only thing I can come up with is that we let the grass grow a little taller this year before mowing. We live out in the country and have about 2 acres to mow. Anybody have any experience with this? |

Don't remove more than 20%-30% of the blade length per mowing, and get your soil tested. Bet you need some N. |
orange grass
Usually occurs here when the cool season grasses don't get a hot spell
to go dormant and just grow and grow and grow . Solved by tossing on some cheap fertlizer.
