: : I need some help. I seeded my back yard early this spring. Used the premium Scotts grass seed for open sunny areas. Also used the appropriate Scotts fertilizers includining the summer blend applied 4 weeks ago. The lawn was very nice, thick, green, no weeds - like a carpet. Until I went on vacation and returned one week later. The grass was very dry with no rain during this period. The grass is covered with a bright yellow dust that appears to be some type of mold. When you walk bare foot, your feet will get very orange color. What can this be and how can I get my yard back to green again? A few days of watering has not helped at this point. The orange dust comes right back. Thank you! Chicago suburb area..... 


: Hi Alan, 

: I think it's some form of rust.  Here's another conversation that might confirm that.
