re: Grass dying in a strange pattern

Did you use the "edge" feature on a spreader? The crappy ones like scotts can drop too much in a line like that.

I did. And I’ve been applying sulfur over the last couple years to try to lower the ph. Maybe it was building up in those areas.

Don’t think so. The pattern has slowly worsened over 12-18 months

Then it wouldn't be voles. You would have had more tracks, and you'd see holes near your house and holes/tunnels in your mulch/pine straw.

If it is slowly getting worse in that exact pattern, it very well could be just an animal walking that route consistently. Put out a game camera and see if it catches something walking that path at night.

Definitely not from the roof. Infront of the garden bed where it started is about 15 feet from the house

Grass almost looks long but still dead there? Usually animal path it’s not long grass just trampled down. Definitely looks like an animal following the path to me. If you have a trail camera set one out. Or be lazy and do something like stick a shovel there sticking out like 2 feet and I bet it shifts over to go around it

That’s a good thought but I don’t think is roof goes out over the flowerbed in a curve. It’s human/animal foot path.

Are you a female….if so, your husband is probably pissing along there every night when he goes out to “check the weather”
