Ask Burton: This week, we’re talking the lawn again – and how to head off a problem before it becomes serious. Q: I have a St. Augustine lawn and I’m starting to see irregular brown spots in it; the runners are still mostly green, but the leaves of the grass are rotting off right at the base, against the runner. This happens almost every fall, and I’d like this problem to go away. What is this, and how do I stop it?September 24, 2020
Ask Burton: This week, a heads up on a nasty turf disease in our area. Q: I have irregular patches of dead grass in my St. Augustine lawn. The areas are surrounded by yellowing grass, and the patches show up regardless of whether the areas are in sun or shade. I had chinch bugs last year and treated for them. Is it the same problem?May 19, 2020
