I have had an area of lawn about 4ft by 2ft that has been brown for a few years now, the grass never seems to die completely but looks really unsightly.
Today I decided to investigate and found a colony of yellow ants with a nest going down about 6 inches and a lot of root fibres at that depth, the soil also had a foul smell to it and was black in places. there is also an area of grey clay which seems completely out of place. I have dug out to about six inches and intend filling with topsoil and new turf, I wondered if anyone else has had a similar problem.
