There is something happening in my yard that I do not understand. In two places there are circles of dead grass. One is about 15/20 feet in diameter and the other is about 8/10. The grass slowly dies and is gone in a couple of years. Only bare soil and a little moss left. The circles are more like rings about a foot or two in width. The interior of the circles are not changed, healthy grass. Just the strip around the circumference. The circles are in part shade on a slight hill and fairly close to a tree line. Been there a few years and nothing grows in the rings.
I have not used fert--chemicals--ar anything that I can think of that would cause them. I know about designs in crops in England and such Et's but this ifs for real.
Any of you guys dealing with growing thins got any ideas. We live on several acres--have a garden---5 food plots---and about 7 acres we mow so we are not greenhorns---I don't think. Just puzzled. Thanks for your help.
I made a couple of pictures but can not post pic on here .

But if you ain't twirling while you pee in the yard, you've done took half the fun out of the experience!

Fairy rings are associated with mushrooms. You also have necrotic ring spot that can do it. Both are fungal. Look it up, its no joke.

I was thinking the same thing
your might want to try this, find some "activated charcoal" and sprinkle it on the area in question, the activated charcoal will draw out any impurities in the soil, many factories keep it for any type of spill, this may not be your case but its worth a try and it does nothing but help, it will not hurt non trouble areas
