Unless you're striping the lawn for a football game, white grass signals trouble.
What Causes It
Powdery Mildew Powdery mildew, which causes small patches of white or gray fungus on grass, is most common in shady, wet areas and on overfertilized lawns.
Fast fix: Spray a solution of one part milk to nine parts water over affected areas.
Prevention: Avoid overfertilizing and overwatering the lawn, and plant shade-tolerant grass in areas that get only partial sun.
