Snow Mold solution?


We've got a snow mold problem in the front yard. Our lawn should look great -it gets plenty of sun, good drainage- it doesn't. I raked up all the brown patches and spread new grass seed and corn meal (its anti-fungal properties are supposed to fight the mold). Then I sprayed compost tea on all but the first 3 feet of the yard (sprayer got clogged). I need to figure out how to use the sprayer and keep it from clogging. Yesterday was a perfect day for yard work-I really need to get some work done on the new front bed- but we had issues with a leaky faucet and I spent the better part of the day trying to fix that. No luck, we need to call a plumber, faucet won't come off.
What's blooming-Cherry trees, forsythia, daffodils, grape hyacinth, forsythia, tulips, primrose, bleeding hearts, magnolias
