This is the first year we've had this problem in our lawn. What's the best course of action for getting rid of it? Right now it's contained to about a 6'x12' area.

Oh, thank God. I thought it might be a physical condition.

Fire.

First you have to dig up the casket. Then send the ring to Dave Truong.

Sevin Concentrate will probably work.

I was wondering which "ring" and was almost afraid to open the thread and find out.

I did as well. Sounds... Well... just terrible.

Thought he was going to tell us his ring finger was dying because the ring is too tight or his body is physically rejecting marriage.

I was hesitant to look.

A guy I worked for as an apprentice mechanic once touched a crescent wrench between his wedding ring and a car fender while loosening the positive batter terminal with the negative cable still connected to the battery.

The wrench ended up welded to 1/2 inch, painted red, and labeled battery wrench. He gave it to me the first time he had me work on a car, told me the story, showed me the finger.

I don't think I'll ever forget.

Get some PATCH PRO. It is a fungicide. Your grass roots have a fungus and its common in your area.

Fairy ring seems like a better term.

It's important to correctly identify the disease as either necrotic ring spot or fairy ring. Though they may appear similar, treatment is different.

Timing seems to be more correct to fairy ring, in which case nitrogen is the most practical approach to mask the dark green circle that forms.

Necrotic ring spot is a may - August disease. Avoid nitrogen with this disease.

Treatments for both are more aligned with management, rather than curative, due to cost and variability of the diseases. For necrotic ring, you can seed these areas with Perennial Rye because it is resistant to NRS. Though you will notice a color difference when compared to Bluegrass. If your lawn is feacue, and not bluegrass, then it's unlikely that you have NRS.
Overseeding with rye for fairy ring managent is tough because the dying turf is due to a thick, water-impermeable fungal later in the soil. You can aerify this area to improve moisture penetration to revive turf.

I thought it was something about trafficking in sex with dead things.

Can you post a picture of the affected area? That would help.

That much less to have to mow.

Had something similar a few years ago, turned out to be bill bugs. Easy to check.

Obviously, crop circles from miniature UFOs.

brown patch, I am fighting that shit myself.

The fungus kills of the grass at ground level, with the circles or semicircles gradually getting larger. The grass will come back, but the fungus is recurring as well. It will screw up the entire yard.

I am currently attacking it with two products, Bayer Fungus Control granules and DOW Eagle 20EW Fungicide.
