Mildew on new Turf
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. |

Bas. -- 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).

Dont brush or cut as this will spread the spores. Or a treatment of a systemic fugicide should do the trick. Or failing that buy a gun and shoot that **** DES. |
