London Lawn Care

“Snow mould” or Fusarium Patch seems to be on the move again this January and February after the prolonged snow cover that we have had this year. Watch out for small white growths on the lawn surrounded by nasty brown patches. See my earlier more comprehensive post http://www.londonlawncare.co.uk/fusarium-patch-pink-snow-mould-grey-snow-mould-microdochium-nivale/

If not treated this can cause long term damage and mean a lot of recovery work in the Spring.

The infected plants will largely lose any green colour leaving you with yellowing patches on the lawn.The sward will also have a rather red appearance to both stem and leaf. At the height of its attack, little bright pink ‘balls’ are formed and these are very recognisable – like tiny patches of candy floss.
