Grey snow mold is a common lawn disease that thrives under snow cover, leaving unsightly gray patches once the snow melts. This fungal problem loves cool, wet conditions and can damage grass if left untreated.
How to Prevent Grey Snow Mold:
- Keep grass short before the first snowfall to reduce matting.
- Rake leaves and debris to improve airflow and limit mold-friendly conditions.
- Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilizer in late fall to prevent lush growth that’s prone to disease.
- Aerate your lawn to improve drainage and reduce compacted soil.
