 lawn problem need help

There is a good chance that you burned the lawn in mid summer by applying 12-12-12. Likewise too much urea can also burn it. That could be the reason for it turning yellow. Mushrooms are real common when applying organic fertilizers. I don't think carryover from Herbicides is an issue.

My lawn at the farm is about 95 years old. I have two spots that come back every year where the grass is greener and grows faster than the rest. These spots are almost perfect circles about 10 feet in diameter. Kinda looks like some crop circle phenomenon. My neighbor who is 90 says trees were there in the middle of the circles about 75 years ago. If you find out the cause for these, I'd like to hear about it.

If the farmer was able to grow a decent stand of corn, you should be able to get a nice lawn.

You mentioned it is next to a creek and is low. Is this area so low that it is damp all of the time, reason for mushrooms. Maybe the lawn can't tolerate the moisture level. Has the creek flooded over bringing silt on the lawn area? You may have some sections that have nearly no nutritional value for the grass to grow from. I have some sections like this on my new lawn where I paid for topsoil.

Yes, sounds like soil sampling is a plan.

The mushrooms are from burried decaying organic matter, logs, stumps, lumber, etc. Most do not harm the lawn, just unsitely. The pale color could be iron deficiency, a likely cause wrong PH. Circles could be fusarium blight

 lawn problem need help

A couple of years ago I purchased a three acre tract that has been in grass for several years. I did a soil sample and the results where very low lime and low phosphors, also recommended adding nitrogen.

In October I added ag lime at the rate of two tons per acre. December is the recommended time to add nitrogen, but I haven't done it yet.

A soil sample is the only way to go, then you know what you need to add. My cost was $5 with a two to four week turn around. Dave
