0 grass and alot of questions - March 27th, 2004 at 10:16 PM
So this question is more from my mom than me....although I'm sure I'll be involved with the cure. My parent's entire back yard (which is really only like 200 sq. ft.) has no grass what so ever. Their last dog had very acidic urine and just fried the grass for the 5 or 6 years. They want to know how to test the Ph level of the dirt now..where to buy the test and what exactly they need (cost would probably be a good thing for them to know also). What is the best way to go about digging the dirt up, what is a good type of dirt to put down (meaning what kind of soil or mixture of whatever), and maybe what kind of grass to plant. They have pretty much made it clear that they don't want to put sod down (although I think it would be a good thing to do). They don't have the dog anymore, so acidic urine is not really a problem now. So there's the question...and help would be GREATLY appreciated.
