    Infested ... and helpless. Ideas?

    Not yet, but a pair hunts regularly close to yard, so hopefully in the future. Very few flying rats though, I'm convinced their the solution in my case anyway

    We see the rust mostly on the perennial rhy grass nit noticed it much on cocksfoot, , we also see torn clover leaf, its as if it's too thin, dandelion, ribgrass chicory have lovely lush leaves then , leaves me thinking it could be a compaction ,or air movement issue in topsoil

    Let's hope it won't get that bad, but readjustment is needed, health and wellbeing are under-valued

    Do you think in time you'll have to move them to avoid damage and holes developing

    The melting away only happens on short rest grass, when it lodges, longer rest gives a hardier type of plant , variety doesn't matter much from what I've seen here in the south west,
