Bald spots in your grass can be caused by many different things such as seasonal dryness, bug infestations, grass diseases, mowing damage, bug infestations, pet waste, or even killer weeds. In this article we will discuss some ways to patch up the bald spots in your lawn that are caused by some of these problems. The two main problems that cause bald patches in your lawn are bug infestations and pet waste.
If bug infestations are the problem one way to patch up the bald spot would be to remove the dead grass, then water and fertilize the area and oxygenate the damaged and surrounding areas. Then seed the area for new grass growth.
Many studies have been done on pet waste left on your lawn and the conclusion is that pet waste contains a lot of concentrated nitrogen in it and when it comes in contact with your lawn you get the same effect as if you were to over-fertilize your lawn. It actually burns the grass. Urine is stronger because it is in liquid form so the pet waste can cause many bald patches in your lawn.
One way to patch up this bald spot in your lawn, or you many have several, is to put up some kind of structure to keep the pets from coming into your yard and on your lawn. Be sure to pick up all the pet waste and discard it in the right way. Then simply remove the old bald spot and reseed the area and be sure to water the seed daily.
