Okay, I know it is a bit warm and all, but I don't understand why my grass is turning yellow. I have a nice lawn that is farely new. I water it for a few hours every couple of days. We don't cut it too short, but of course it isn't kept too long. I do fertilize every so often too. Is there some sort of fungus I should look for or am I watering at the wrong times? What about pests, could a pest do this? What should I do? I want a beautiful green lawn. Posts: 8 | From: Hawaii | Registered: Jun 2004

Welcome to The Gardener's Forum, A Cybercommunity of Gardeners from around the world.
Questions:
What type of grass is in the lawn? Manienie or Mahiki, some type of Zosiagrass like templegrass or Koreangrass, St. Augustine?
Is the lawn in shaded area?
Is there a sprinkler system and how long do you do the watering? Is the soil damp or wet most of the time?
Was the soil amended with organic matter, such as manure, leaves, grasss clippings, compost, bagasse, peat moss, or hapuu before putting the grass down?
What is fairly new? Six months? One year?
Yellowing may indicate Nitrogen or iron deficiency, or improper pH level, but there may be other factors such as virus (St. Augustine grass,etc.).
