Here's the answer to your Plant Problem...

You asked:

How can I get rid of black, disc-like lumps covering my lawn?

Our Advice:

This is lichen, which usually indicates heavy, poorly-drained soil. Apply lawn sand and spike the lawn in spring to a depth of 4-6in (10-15cm). Then feed in spring and autumn.
