Fairy Rings...

[schindlerpiste]

No, they are not a sex toy for homosexuals. They grow on suburban lawns.

Whose got 'em?

Who controls them?

I have at least 4 of them. I was told that there is no getting rid of them. I guess, this year, I will aerate 3-4X, and fertilize the shit out of my lawn. I wonder how long they will last?

[assman]

great advice here...

or you could not have a lawn and not fertilize anything but the mrs.

[pepperdawg]

Arent they result of decaying stumps?

[schindlerpiste]

decaying stumps, or some other nutrients. I'm not going to dig up my yard to find out what is decaying. If I fertilize a lot, the circle will turn darker, but there will be more mushrooms, which I can cut with my mower.

So I'm not recommending this w/o further research, but back where I'm from (Michigan) the typical fairy ring shrooms are pretty tasty, sauteed in olive oil w/ some garlic.

[XXX-er]

I had them back in the day I was also told you can't get rid of them without putting in a new lawn

No idea how it turned out cuz I sold the house when the mrs & I split and the problem became someone elses .

[iceman]

Considering I thought he might be saying he has ringworm, a few mushrooms doesn't seem like much of a problem.

Obviously it is were you buried the four dead hookers.

Unless you are trying to win Yard of the Month, who cares? It is just a soil fungus.

Saw this in the paper today: http://seattletimes.com/html/living/...hroomsxml.html

Transplant mushrooms from one ring to another, and let them fight to the death. I'd be surprised if it really worked, but it could be an interesting experiment.

heh.... reminds me of when I asked my dad about these things in our yard as a kid. He looked me in the eye with all seriousness and said that's where he likes to piss in circles at night. And that his piss would make mushrooms grow.

dam... I miss my old man.

Thumbs up. My old man would always crack the driest one-liners at the oddest times.

Yes, more chemicals!

cisco morris ftw!

[that dude who did that thing]

They can be gotten rid of, which is no tto say I know how. The guy who does the landscaping at my office dealt with one there. My recollectoin is that he aerated, fertilized and used an anti-fungal. That actually moved the fairy ring, farther out, but less noticeable, so he did it all again the next year.

[schindlerpiste]

I'm thinking of digging up the entire fairy ring, planting a willow there, and then covering it with 4=5" of bark mulch

[iceman]

Stick a couple of garden gnomes in the middle and call it a landscaping feature.

[userA]

brilliant!

[BmillsSkier]

Nuke from orbit, behead the remains. If any.

The Mrs would probably be pissed if you fertilized anything but her.

Invite a bunch of hippies over for a lawn rave.





You clearly know what to do next.
