how to control fairy ring fungus in lawn

I was reading your lawn fungus article, very informative. I have what I believe is a fairy ring fungus. Will the methods and products you descibe work on that type of fungus? It seems very different from dollar spot and brown patch.

We get this question quite a bit. In fact Fairy Ring is not easy to control and there is no specific product one may apply to the symptoms it displays once it gets a foothold in your lawn. But there are proven remedies that will cover up the impact and in the end, you should be able to sustain a lawn that won't show the rings and over time, very little mushroom growth if you're experiencing that too.

As is the case with most lawn problems, once the PH of the soil gets out of whack, a lot can happen that's bad. I suggest you start here making sure the PH is in check as explained in our PH CONTROL ARTICLE.

Once the PH is known to be stable and within the range acceptable for your grass, get a decent fertilizer applied. We recommend LIQUID FERTILIZER as quick way to get grass to grow and during the warm season, this is usually the best way to proceed when trying to overcome a fairy ring that's showing poor grass growth. But if you maintain the turf throughout the year, this problem will be minimal so the regular use of Liquid Fertilizer won't be needed.
