Why do i have a circle on my grass?
Question:I seem to have an area of dead or faded coloured grass in a circle pattern. Its been there for a while. If i cut the grass it just comes back. I have placed a picure on http://www.geocities.com/adambcole/garde...
Sometimes little mushrooms grow along the circle path. NO crop circle suggestions please
Answers:
You have a baby "fairy ring". Some of the largest and oldest are around Stonehenge, thousands of feet across, thousands of years old and can only be seen from a plane. Please don't kill yours, they do no real harm, in fact there good for the soil. But, if they keep you up all night you can safely kill them with Epsom salt and the fairies will be gone for good.
that is the answer, mushroom spoor.
aliens,,,, there here.!!!!!!
It's where the pixies and fairies hang out at night, they dance around in circles.
there is an old abandoned pond under there
sometimes dog urine can create patches of dead grass in your yard. Male dogs tend to want to lift their legs on posts, trees, etc. so if it is in the middle of open grass, its probably a female dog.
has your dog been chasing his tail again...
You should feel blessed.You have your own pixie disco.It also
looks like they took your washing.
perhaps its fox wee.? You need t treat the area with nutritionally treated soil or something. B&Q your best bet, or wilkinsons prob do it cheaper (damn i was gonna say crop circle you spoilt my sad fun)haha
Have you got fairys at the bottom of your garden? They will be very upset if you keep cutting their grass. People have wondered about them for hundreds of years and used to call them "fairy rings" and believed elves and goblins danced round them at night.
They believed it was lucky if a "fairy ring" grew on your land.
Today we believe that a "fairy circle" started from a single spore. Each year the plant grows a little further outwards in search of more food. The mushrooms grow only on the outer part of the plant.
So they grow ever outwards, in circles, in search of more food to eat.
You could have a well or an old dried up pond under the grass.
Three things spring to mind:
Mushroom Spores - Moss Spores - Hedgehog Pee!
Yes, Hedgehog pee - I have a few odd patches like this in my garden and could not figure it out - until I caught the hedgehog peeing in a pattern - same path every night.
However, I think it probably is one of the other two - dig it out down to about 12" in depth and replace the soil and repatch the grass
that's a fairy ring.. no, I'm not kidding. It's a lawn fungus that's living there.. it forms a circular pattern in turf.
you could try to get rid of it by applying a lawn and garden antifungal (like daconil) agent.
relax.. the aliens have landed elsewhere..
Its called a fairy ring, it's caused by the mushrooms.
Try digging up the affected area and treating the surrounding area with Armillatox.

you may have white grub worms. they are under ground near the surface. dig around under the grass and they are pretty easy to see and find. If that's it go to garden center and they will tell you what to do and buy.
It is called a fairy circle,Caused by water logged ground.
if you havent got a dog that is weeing on this patch then you either have some rubble under there or there is a little dip in the ground and it is staying wetter than the rest of the lawn
