Help! Dead patches in lawn.
 
I have worked on my front lawn this year. It was full of weeds and
moss, most Of which I have eradicated. However I am now get dead
patches on the lawn, they are odd irregular shape, about 40x20cm at
their greatest length/width. I do not think it is a bitch urinating,
any ideas? Or how to further investigate? More importantly how to cure
and stop it.
TIA

Could be a fox
or it could be the start of fairy rings

Dig one of the areas out to a depth of 1ft and well beyond the dead area and
see if theres white mycelial strings in the soil

If so you will need to dig out each area well beyond the dead area and at
least 1ft deep .........dispose of the infected soil at the dump and refill
the areas with fresh topsoil then reseed or turf
