Hi Amy, I believe my yard is dying from take-all-patch. It has progressively been getting worse all summer. I have large areas of my backyard that are dead.I have read about using some type of Peat moss dressing, and that fungicides would not be that usefule at this point. I also read that a compost dressing would be better. What's the best solution at this point in time? It's so hot, but I am afraid if I don't do something quick, the rest of my lawn will die. Your advise is greatly appreciated.

Application of an organic fungicide like corn meal or garlic fungicide should help to slow the process down. In the fall when the temperatures start to decrease core aerate apply more corn meal and follow up with an application of compost. Repeat this process in the spring and apply a fungicide if the lawn shows any negative signs.
