Do you have dead grass
spots on your lawn? These may be caused from the acidity of female pet urine. Clear
away the dead grass, and apply calcitic limestone (not calcium oxide or calcium
hydroxide) to the spot. This will neutralize the acid and promote grass roots. Cover
the lime with a layer of soil, then sprinkle with an even amount of grass seed,
using seed that is prescribed for your region. Cover the seed with a light
layer of soil and water. Some seed, such as Kentucky Blue Grass takes 21 days
to germinate, therefore you need to keep the seeded area continually moist for
that time. Pets seem to use the same areas repeatedly, so you may need to encourage
them to use a different area, maybe one that does not have grass.
