FAIRY RINGS

DILUTION 50:1

Fairy rings are portrayed by a deeper coloured ring in the lawn enriched by decaying fungi.

The mycelium underground spreads outwards gradually widening like ripples on a pond after a stone has been thrown into the water.

Many gardeners have used the following technique with great success....

Using a fork or auger, make a ring of holes in the unaffected turf 10 cms from the Fairy Ring.

Thoroughly drench with the diluted solution pouring directly into each hole, either with a watering can or a Compression Sprayer, fitted with an injector lance.

If any of the solution overflows from the hole onto the surface grass, lightly water the area with plain water, using a watering can.

The area within the ring may contain small toadstool-like fungi. Remove and burn.
