[QUOTE="Marck, post: 223313, member: 15114"] Greetings, welcome to the Forums. Don't go plastic, just stop using fungicides and let the soil heal itself. If you chem-bomb the lawn with chemicals for one disease, you've just left a traumatic vacuum in the soil's biota, now available for another disease to move in and take over. If your lawn area remains too wet for your current grass, consider Tall Fescue ([I]Festuca arundinacea[/I] cvs.) or Sedge ([I]Carex[/I] spp.). Such lawn species will have a different feel and texture, but can be very attractive. Also don't aim for a monoculture of only grass. Patches of Clover ([I]Trifolium[/I]), [I]Lotus[/I], buttercup ([I]Ranunculus[/I]), [I]Veronica[/I], Lawn Daisy ([I]Bellis perennis[/I]) etc, will all add beauty and diversified resilience to your lawn. Plant some [I]Crocus [/I]corms as well, for a beautiful Spring display. [/QUOTE]
