    hi,
    hope someone can give help regarding my sad grass. I have a very small garden with tiny patch of grass for dog and children. However grass is being erradicated by dog (bitch) urine. Can anyone give suggestions on either products to put on the grass or a type of turf which is dog urine resistant?
    Thanks.

    Hi there olivetree.
    The only way I managed to cope with both problems was to introduce clover.It stood the kiddies at play and the yellowing reduced very much,but I always poured a bucket full of water where the dog had been anyway and marked the patch with a little flag to warn the little ones to keep away until it was dry. At times the lawn looked like an 18 hole golf course :D

    I have an elderly friend and her dog piddles all over her lawn terrible mess. Can't you dog lovers train your doggies to wee in one area? Fence a bit off perhaps until it learns.
