We have a 7 pound yorkie who regularly pees in a 20 square foot portion of our back yard. The problem is, that grass is getting very patchy (dark green grass mixed with lighter green grass). See attached picture. Would spreading lime on the yard help any to even out the difference between the two? Is it too late to spread lime? I've heard it's better to spread it in Dec/Jan. Any other recommendations?
It's the nitrogen that makes the peed-on grass greener. Fertilize the rest of the yard in spring and summer to match the additional nutrients the dog is adding. Or you can just keep a hose handy near the door and spray down that area after you let the dog do his business, which will dilute the pee some.
don't get me wrong: I have several people that I keep their yards looking great with dogs, but I definitely wouldn't go through the trouble at my place!
Isn't drugging the wife always a good idea in general? I mean, umm.... don't listen to me
