The Easiest Way to Repair Grass Damaged By Dogs
If you're a dog owner, chances are good that you have a recurring problem every spring: a backyard dotted with bare patches where your beloved pooch has urinated.
Not to fear: Blogger Thea, of Time With Thea, struggles with the same conundrum thanks to her golden labrador retriever Duke—and she has found an easy and affordable solution. Here are Thea's three steps to ridding your lawn of "burn" spots:
1. Rake the patchy areas to remove as much dead grass as possible.
2. Apply a layer of extra-fine ground limestone. Water the area to help the limestone absorb, then let it sit for a week.
3. Cover the patches with top soil then sprinkle grass seeds over them. Gently water the newly seeded area with a garden hose, taking care not to wash seeds away. Continue watering daily (unless it rains, of course) for a few weeks.
Thea said she has used this process to keep her lawn looking good for 10 years! For more details and helpful hints on the process, visit Hometalk and Time with Thea.
