I recently laid St. Augustine sod in my yard and there are 4 or 5 spots of brown swooshes throughout the lawn now. They are about 3 feet wide and have a smaller brown spot underneath them. The grass is already rooted well and very healthy except for these few areas...please help. Thanks IP: Logged |

Could it possibly be fertilizer burn? I've seen swoosh's where the spreader stopped with the hopper still open and a lot of extra fert was spread in a swoosh pattern when the spreader was started again. My only explaination............... IP: Logged |

Possibly a fungus. Where do you live? During the winter months, the St. Augustine goes dormant...no need for water. Water will only encourage a fungus problem. If the brown patches are growing (use a stake to mark its progress) use a fungicide such as revere or compass and shut off the water and don't fertilize. It should stop, but there's a good chance it will start up in the spring again when you start watering again and temperatures cause dew on the grass. Main rule...if you have a fungus, do not water or fertilize until you take care of the fungus. IP: Logged |
