Homeowner Forum / Lawn and Garden / April 2007Dog Pee in Potential Garden Site
Sorry if this is offensive to some, but we have an elderly dog who, because of mobility problems over this past winter, has been peeing in an area near our back kitchen door. It's been grassy lawn but is now damaged. We want to improve this situation, and wish to develop the area with brick paving and mulched landscape plantings. To be blunt, do you know of any specific shrubs or plants which may flourish in the acidic pee-soaked soil of this area? We'll be adding fresh topsoil and feeding with Miracle-Gro .... any other suggestions? Gratefully, Connie >Sorry if this is offensive to some, but we have an elderly dog who, >because of mobility problems over this past winter, has been peeing in [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > >Connie I expect that total salt buildup will be the primary problem, Miracle-Gro will make it worse. Flush the area with lots of water to wash out whatever you can. > Sorry if this is offensive to some, but we have an elderly dog who, > because of mobility problems over this past winter, has been peeing in > an area near our back kitchen door. Sorry, couldn't help you with the garden but have you thought about using Depend for your dog? >Sorry if this is offensive to some, but we have an elderly dog who, >because of mobility problems over this past winter, has been peeing in [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > >Connie Connie, even after you implement suggestions from other posters, how will you keep elderly dog from re-using site? Can he/she be induced to use a dog toilet? I mean between the time when you flush out or otherwise eliminate the dog pee, and the time when you actually develop the area per your outline.
