Hi all,
long time reader first time poster as they say. I have a question for all you expert gardeners. I have a relatively new lawn I put it in 2 years ago and its going ok. Last year was very wet as you all know, and the lawn got what I believe was red thread disease. This year it seemed to be gone and the lawn was doing well. I was fertilising with that lawn feed and weed stuff and cutting regularly had spot removed big weeds etc.

Anyway about a week or two ago the red thread returned. It is turning the lawn a brown red colour in little patches that are spreading pretty quickly through the lawn. Do anyone have any advice on how best to treat this.
