My Grass is Yellow and Dying!!

Don't know if anyone has any ideas on how to revive part of my grass!!

Monty always wee's around the same area and the grass is going all yellow and is dying! It looks awful!!

Anyone had this happen? And anyone have any ideas on how to revive it?? Not like I can tell him to wee anywhere else lol!!

Thanks

You won't be able to do anything with it now, as it's not actively growing, cos it's still winter....

You could get a watering can full of water, and pour it over where Monty has wee-d, to dilute the wee. But you'd have to do it as soon as he finished.

Can you put something in the way so he has to wee somewhere else?

If it`s his favourite spot, I`d put some ornamental gravel down there. It`ll soak away and you can water it down if it smells.
You can always put a couple of (tall) planters there to mask it.

My garden looks the same and I've tried all the "tricks" but nothing seems to work.

We've just resigned ourselves to the fact its not going to change and will put fresh turf down to replace the damaged patches when we sell the house!

I was told once that tomato sauce prevents the grass dying but I have never found out whether you put it on the grass or on the dogs food

Mine is to, we have not had much rain, so the grass is suffering.

the only way to stop those orange patches be it summer or winter is to water them continually.


Dilute were the dogs have weed and it should eventually come back.
