Q&A – How do I get rid of algae
in my lawn?
Question:
How do I get rid of algae in my lawn?
Answer:
Algae tends to grow in areas of the lawn that are shady with compact soil and poor drainage, with the wrong pH. UT Extension Agent Booker T. Leigh recommends trying to get more light onto the ground in that area, possible by limbing up trees. He also recommends aerating the soil to improve drainage. Also, check the pH of the soil. Incorrect pH will discourage grass growth.
