Dry/ dead lawn patches

robby71 · 17 Aug 2009

In the past couple of weeks we have several patches which seem to be spreading of what is dried out/ dead lawn.
The patches aren't in the shade, aren't under trees and don't have weeds

What can i do to get the grass lush again?

Thanks

Had the same. take a very close look at the blades of dried grass if there are any pink/red strands then you have got "red thread" fungus, apparently there is a lot of it about. Treat with high nitrogen fertilizer

Is there a specific nitrogen fertilizer for grass as i've just seen some for plants?
Would this help http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Evergreen-Gra...ash=item27a7ce44eb&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262 or do i need to tret the areas first?

No that won't help you need an 8-0-0 fertilizer.

Google "red thread" and there is loads about dealing with it
