Disease
Red Thread
This is a fairly widespread disease and can be found in any lawn lacking in soil fertility. The occurrence of the disease is most evident after periods of wet weather, especially towards the end of summer, when humidity is high.
The lawn will begin to show small patches of grey-brown turf initially; on closer inspection the grass plant will have small, red ‘needles’ protruding from the diseased leaf.

Fairy Rings
Fairy rings are found in turf all over the world and can be seen as complete circles, ribbons, or arcs of stimulated grass growth which may or may not be associated with bare areas of turf and toadstools.
