Here's the answer to your gardening question...

You asked:

How can I control a Fairy ring spreading across my lawn?

Our Advice:

There are no chemicals to deal with this fungus. One way to help check the progress of this problem is to spike the lawn to 20-30cm deep. Apply a solution of washing up liquid in lukewarm water (15ml in 10 litres per square metre). This will act as a wetting agent so that water can penetrate the infected areas, and deter the fungus.
