A healthy grass is dense, free of weed, and is luscious green. You know your grass is healthy when you can feel it like a lavish carpet in your hands. A sick lawn is likely to suffer any of the following:
Growth of Fungi
This is characterized by round-shaped white or pale green grass that appears. This is also known as the grass ring and seems to be much dense and green compared to that surrounding ring. This occurs because decomposing organic matter supplies more nutrients to the ground before filling up the roots of the grass.
Minimal Thatch
Thatch is consists of grass stems, roots, and other debris that has a crucial role in controlling the temperature, insulate the soil and distributes moisture in the lawn. Healthy lawns have self-decaying thatch.
Invasion of Weed
Improper irrigation, fertilization, and mowing practices cause the invasion of weed.
Imbalance of the pH of the Soil
If your grass is displaying yellow, brown, and dead spots it could mean that there are issues with the pH of the soil.
