Did the lawn at my new house for the first time, which is also the first time I've done a lawn EVER.
Really enjoyed it, I think the garden could be my 'thing'.
It's looking to be a dry week ahead, how often should I water it? At the moment I am going on a 'when it looks dry' basis. I hear doing it once a week but quite heavily is a good starting point.
By 'did the lawn' do you mean laid turf? We laid turf last year and the advice we got was water it to death, which we did. It was beautifully lush until the dogs landed
. If you want it to stay that way you either need to train them not to wee on it or follow them round with a watering can.
Good point. Dad got to the point last year of suggesting getting astroturf!

By the time summer's over, you won't have much left to cut if you don't keep on top of it. We're forever repairing patches in ours thanks to the boys.

You have to rake out the dead lawn and remove it completely. Scrape the soil a bit to loosen it up, toss on a mix of new lawn seed/soil/fertiliser, then water it. We use a thing called 'patch fix' that's supposedly resistant to pet urine. It's got everything you need in the one box. Best price we've found for it is from Costco. Have no idea if there's a better way of doing things, but our way seems to be working...it's just a lot of work! lol
You'll see new lawn popping up in 2 - 3 weeks and it almost looks proper again in about 4 weeks.

Just train your dog to pee in a specific spot and accept that it's never going to look lush and green.

He'd only let me try one batch. Hardly enough time to know for sure imo...

We just threw them at the dog every time it went on the lawn.

I naturally assumed it was bollox, but you can look up ion exchange on google. So there is some science behind it, though i can't say I have followed it through to satisfy myself that this will resolve your problem.

There isn't any science to it. Looks like complete woo to me. Happy to be shown some evidence though and am open to change my mind. Won't hold my breath though...
