Something's growing on the grass in my backyard!

Douglas Hunt on Jul 20, 2013I believe what you are seeing is slime mold, Patti. It may be disturbing to see but actually does little real damage to your lawn. Chemical treatments are not necessary. A forceful spray from a garden hose, brushing with a broom, or use of a leaf rake all work well to disperse the powdery residue.Helpful Reply
