Pest Damage: Grubs, chinch bugs, and other lawn pests can feed on the roots of the grass, leading to dead spots.
Pet Urine: Dog urine, which is high in nitrogen, can burn grass and leave behind brown patches.
Once you identify the likely cause of the brown patches in your lawn, you can address the issue effectively. However, my Nana’s trick works wonders regardless of the specific cause.
Nana’s Magic Formula: The Secret Weapon
The trick Nana taught me isn’t about pouring chemicals onto your lawn or spending hours reseeding and watering. It’s about a natural, easy-to-apply mixture that you can make with ingredients you probably already have at home. Here’s what you need:
Epsom Salt: Epsom salt is rich in magnesium, which is essential for the production of chlorophyll. It helps grass stay green and healthy.
Mild Dish Soap: A few drops of dish soap can break the surface tension of the soil, allowing the nutrients to penetrate more effectively. It also helps the solution adhere to the grass blades and soil.
Water: The final and most crucial ingredient.
How to Apply the Solution
Mix the Ingredients:
In a large bucket or watering can, mix 2 tablespoons of Epsom salt with 2 gallons of water.
Add a few drops of mild dish soap (make sure it’s free of harsh chemicals that could harm your lawn).
Spot Treat the Brown Patches:
Pour the mixture directly onto the brown patches. Make sure the area is thoroughly soaked but not waterlogged.
