One gardener on AllAboutLawn.com's Residential Lawn Care Forum (
http://www.allaboutlawns.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1409) asked, "Does this seem normal to you? Does grass usually get like this?" of the brown patches on her lawn. The visitor learned that she might need to overseed her lawn to get the results she wanted. Another visitor directed her to photos of a common lawn disease.
In the same forum, a homeowner posted eight photos of his lawn and asked for help: "We've lived in the home for three years. (The) first two years the lawn looked ok. However last year the lawn has taken a HUGE turn for the worse. We've tried nitrate fertilizer and we had Scotts come out, but the lawn got WORSE!!! ... We need HELP!!! BAD!!!" (

Experts at Cornell University emphasize the importance of spring lawn care and stipulate that, "poorly managed lawns -- whether by neglect or through the overuse of fertilizers and pesticides -- can be an environmental liability." During an average year, 60 percent of annual lawn growth occurs during a six-week period in spring. Getting the right advice at the beginning of the season can make all the difference in a healthy lawn as spring is when the root systems of most grasses begin to come out of winter dormancy and start to grow.
