Question
Hi,
We have rust disease in our lawn.  Our lawn is treated with Bio-Green and has been chemical free for 4 years now except for spot spraying.  We have been treating the rust disease with hydrogen peroxide, but have run out and cannot get any more.  The peroxide kept it at bay, but we cannot find anything to eliminate the rust.  We live in central Nebraska.  Thanks!

Answer
I've honestly never heard of using Hydrogen Peroxide on rust, and I can't understand why you might not be able to find more. That all said, I never fret about rust as it tends not to cause any serious problems. Just let it run its course. It'll go away on its own without your efforts.

Good luck!
