## Step-by-Step Guide to Fix Lawn Burn

Here’s a detailed how-to so you can use nana’s hack perfectly every time.

### Step 1: Identify the Burn Spots

Look for small brown or yellow patches, usually in clusters, where your dog frequently urinates.

### Step 2: Prepare Your Materials

Fill a watering can or hose sprayer with clean water. If using baking soda, dissolve one teaspoon in a liter of water and pour into a spray bottle.

### Step 3: Apply Water or Baking Soda Solution

* For water alone: Pour a generous amount over each brown patch until the soil is saturated.
* For baking soda solution: Spray the solution liberally on the damaged area.

### Step 4: Let It Soak

Allow the water or solution to soak into the soil. The area should feel moist but not waterlogged.

### Step 5: Observe and Repeat If Needed

Most times, this one treatment is enough. If the burn persists, repeat the watering or spraying within 24 hours.

## Additional Tips to Prevent Lawn Burn

While nana’s hack is fantastic for repairs, prevention is the best medicine!

* **Train your dog:** Encourage your dog to pee in designated areas or on mulch instead of the lawn.
* **Water your lawn regularly:** Keep the grass healthy and resilient.
* **Feed your dog properly:** Some diets reduce nitrogen concentration in urine.
* **Alternate spots:** Use deterrents or barriers to discourage your dog from using the same spot repeatedly.
* **Use pet-friendly grass:** Certain grass types tolerate urine better (e.g., fescue, ryegrass).
