Owners of four-legged friends know the problem: the dog does its business in the garden and yellow spots form on the lawn.
But what helps against it?
Anyone who has a large garden and therefore a correspondingly large lawn area * lets the dog do its business there every now and then.
However, yellow spots can then form.
That's annoying.
After all, there is often a lot of work in the green area.
Regardless of whether it is about sowing, maintaining the lawn in general or removing moss.
But why do the yellow spots arise?
In fact, the yellow spots on the lawn arise exactly where the four-legged friend does its business again and again.
Then the grass roots are deprived of moisture due to the salt content in the urine.
At some point this area will turn yellow because it is no longer sufficiently moisturized.
Prevent yellow spots in the lawn from dog urine
Of course, the dog does not have to do without the quick toilet in the garden.
But dog owners could think about training their
four-legged friend to a certain spot on the lawn
.
A corner, for example, in which the yellow spots are not immediately noticeable.
Another possibility would be to
pour away
the
urine with water
.
When the dog is done with his business, keepers would have to pour a watering can over it.
This not only dilutes the salt content, but also reduces the urine odor.

Repairing yellow spots in lawns from dog urine
Once it has happened and the lawn has got yellow spots, there aren't many options.
Basically, the only
thing
that helps is to
re-sow
the
lawn
.
However, you should then bear in mind that the earth could still be salty.
It is therefore advisable to dig out the soil at the site and water it sufficiently.
Ultimately, the lawn should be sown on soil that is free from dog urine.
