| I am into my second round [month] of fertilizing with 34-0-0. 98% of my lawn is green and beautiful, however this afternoon I looked @ my lawn and the blades are green like the rest of the grass, but the tips are brown [1/4" of the tips] and are in the shape of a 3' semi-circle in two spots -- what is this? and how can I fix it??
P.S. Definitely not overfertilization, I've overfertilized in the past and this is not it -- I fertilized this lawn over two weeks ago and the tips seemed to become brown overnight, last night. |

| Without seeing any pictures my best guess is a dull lawn mower blade. |

| Agree w/ TW. Get the blade sharpened. |

| Or purchase a reel mower. |

| Last picture if from a dull blade. Just look at the frazzled ends. You blade is tearing nut cutting. As for the yellow spots is nitrogen burn from your dog. |

| Thanks for the info -- I'll get the mower blade sharpened and monitor the dogs/wildlife in my area [b/c we have no pets]. |

| "Or purchase a reel mower." Doesn't matter, will need blades sharpen, even more so than rotary. |

| Those yellow splotches with the pattern they make look like urine or chemical burns is why I brought it up. Looks just like the pattern a male dog would make hiking his leg. The only problem is Bermuda is not usually burned by urine unless it is really hot weather. |

| Well the couple of days I had noticed it was especially hot outside. However, How long until this disappears? I'm guessing I'll have to wait for some new growth? |

| For it to grow itself back out. Are the spots getting larger? |
RE: Bermuda - Brown Tips and Green Blades?? HELP
| | |
| The spots had gotten progressively larger from about 1' to 3'. It looks like it's stopping @ 3'. So, will it take a couple of weeks to grow out? disappear? |

| How much and how often are you watering? |
RE: Bermuda - Brown Tips and Green Blades?? HELP

| 1 inch, when it needs to be watered -- trying to follow the Bermuda Bible. Was told to pour bleach on my asphalt as a deter animals from coming onto my property -- is this correct of use something else?? |
