Original caption

Brown spots don’t always mean lawn fungus. 👀 Brown patch disease, drought stress, grubs, dog urine, and fertilizer burn can all leave similar-looking damage, but each one needs a different solution. Before you grab a fungicide or spread more fertilizer, take a closer look. Diagnosing the problem first can save you time, money, and your lawn. Which brown spot have you battled before… fungus, drought, grubs, dog urine, or fertilizer burn? #creatorsearchinsights #lawncare
