Any Sugestions? I have used Scotts Weed and Feed twice this year along with a Walt-Mart equivalent. We now have mushrooms growing and more brown/dying areas. We live in west Central Florida. We are watering 2-3 times a week. The grass is being cut at approximatly 2 inches. Where would you suggest I take a soil sample to? Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.many thanks!

Try your county extension agent. I did two months ago and he saved my yard. I had a fungus that was not being killed by the fungicide that the major home retailers were selling. (mine incidentally was grey leaf fungus). He told me what to buy and where to buy it. I would try you local extension agent first, take him a sample and they typically will do a soil analysis for free. Try picking his brain about everything from watering to fertilizing.
