1. it can depend a bit on where you are. lawns can get yellow patches for various reasons and somereasons do not happen in some areas. One famous thing about zoysia is it doesn't like alkaline soils; it will turn yello in those places. other reasons can be nematodes or fungi and your local extension office might be able to tell you local info: http://www.csrees.usda.gov/Extension/index.html and here is a good document about zoysia but it is writtten by Kansas so it may not apply in All respects: http://www.oznet.ksu.edu/library/hort2/mf683.pdf here is a links page to lawn care in general: http://www.dmoz.org/Home/Gardening/Landscaping/Lawns/ if u run into any problems, then ask the guys at lawnsite.com or lawncafe.com in their civilian help forums.
