I have two dogs that like to play outside and come every fall they wear down large parts of the yard. By next spring it's dirt. I live in Cedar Park/Austin, TX area and have St. Augustine grass. I keep it mowed and watered. I was told we don't have great drainage, but the grass was looking healthy until early fall when the growth stopped. Any suggestions on a different grass or other options to keep the grass growing? Thanks! [This message has been edited by DogBoy1969 (edited 05 January 2008).] IP: Logged |

Hi. The dogs cause 2 major problems in your lawn. 1-. They pee... The urine burns your grass. It has no cure. You can put water on the urine or pray to keep your lawn green, it's the same. 2-. Depending on their weight and feet size, they cause soil compactation. An easy way to know if your garden's soil is compacted, you can try to plunge a match with your fingers in it. If you can't plunge it, your soil is bad. In this case you can do some soil decompactation works. It really works... IP: Logged |

The urine issue can be solved by putting tomato juice in their food. Somebody told me this and I have been doing it for 2 years. I have 4 dogs and it really does help. I can really tell when I haven't been puttin the v8 in their food IP: Logged |
