    Haha you are right! Same with our lawn at home, covered in them. Notice more of them in the fields around as well.

    Same around here, they are everywhere. Haven't seen them over recent years, now every lawn has them. How does that happen?

    There are a big problem for me more in the garden rather than lawn. Deep root system, hard to get rid of. Invasive aliens!

    The wet weather last year allowed them spread wildly. Some say that the leaching raises the PH just enough to bring them on. But I've seen them on ground that has been limed recently.
