Black stuff on grass
Comments (5)I read somewhere that it's a fungus. It appears when the grass is wet during the night. It was suggested that watering should be avoided during the hours after dark. I had it on my bermuda lawn and it went away when the weather was hot and dry. Now I water after the sun comes up and have not seen it appear lately. Hope this helps.

Comments (3)I'd plant it in it's own pot. It might be just growing on sugars or whatever from the pod it was in. The roots seem ok. I've had several seeds that that stuff was growing on and it didn't spread to the plant/sprout. When mine had that,the little hairs got round spore pods on the ends of the hairs then turned gray. See if a drip of 3% Peroxide kills it or a weak bleach solution- 3 parts bleach-2 parts water. Chamomile tea(weak) is supposed to kill some of that stuff too....See MoreNew yard-- newbie -- spiders and black fungus?
Comments (8)i dont know your area ... but i have two thoughts ... first.. you said.. it needs a lot of work ... so i imply.... infer ... that this jungle was basically abandoned for a few years ... let me suggest.. simply being there... and taking command of the yard will start to solve the problem ... e.g. ... if the lawn is mowed weekly ... and kept short.. like a lawn is supposed to be.. they are going to not being hanging out in the lawn ... so simply by mowing.. you are taking control ... same thought with overgrown gardens and bushes ... and do keep in mind.. spiders are most apparent .. in fall ... thats when we get these kind of posts... and that is because.. they have had all summer to grow and mature. ... sooner or later ... even in your zone.. winter will come.. and the populations will ebb ... simply based on the cycles of the season ... so i would highly recommend not going with the nuclear option this late in fall ... perhaps this is not a proper suggestion for NC .. i dont know ... a quick call to your LOCAL COUNTY extension office.. might get you some very LOCAL pertinent information on the current populations of any given plague.. maybe its just been a big year for them.. in your area .... and you might ask a new neighbor... if its in their yard also ... again.. to find out if its not just your jungle .... as for the crumb muncher ... teaching them to respect such.. is much easier than eradicating .... and for sure.. at that age... give them a baggie of goldfish crackers as you launch them out the door.. and teach them to eat NOTHING in the yard ... and to bring back the empty bag ... and mommy will fill it up when they want more ... believe it or not.. that are very malleable at that age.. and a lot smarter than given credit for .... and if youa re giving out food.. they will be back ... lol ... for about 16 years min ... lol .. as to mushrooms and their ilk ... i consider them a free show of ma nature ... they are one of ma natures decompsers .... there is simply no downside to them.... most of the time... they are decomposing rotting wood under the surface... or on old used up mulch ... its interesting to learn what they are ... but there is little to do.. to be rid of them.. so go zen.. and accept them ...basically.. the same with the spiders .... [i suspect you might find a big dead stump somewhere out there... and the pattern of the shrooms/fungus its its dead root mass] enjoy your new yard ... but do keep in mind.. it is going to be winter... even in NC ... ken...See MoreBlack, grey, fuzzy mold (not salts!) on terracotta pots
Comments (8)Just washed off that pot and a few others; actually it was mostly that big one that really had a problem. The others mostly had salt but I washed them anyway just to be sure. I just threw the pebbles out; those weren't helping for sure. But a couple of other questions: Lots of people are starting to get those Wooly Pockets (felted pocket wall planters) -- if terracotta is this bad, wouldn't those get even more moldy (porosity)? Or not, because the felt dries so fast? I know someone that's had one for a few years and they haven't had mold problems. I had one tiny pot in particular that I just washed (scrubbed with a soap-coated steel wool pad) and then sprayed down with H2O2. This single pot, for some reason, has always had sort of a "film" on it and a dark patina. When I sprayed it with the H2O2, it started smoking! Only a little bit, but what chemical reaction would cause that?...See Morejjjinsa_aol_com
