A New Way to Repair Your Dog-Damaged Lawn

By: Charlie Nardozzi

Dogs maybe man’s best friends, but they certainly aren’t friends to your lawn. Dogs urinating on the lawn can cause brown, dead spots. Dedicating a certain area for your dog helps, and watering the spots after Lassie has finished is a good idea. Now there’s more you can do to repair damaged lawns and prevent further problems.

Rascal Spot is a new product that contains a naturally-occurring bacterium that helps your lawn recover from damage by consuming the ammonium in the urine and binding the salts it contains. It also increases soil permeability to enhance grass growth. In addition to treated damaged lawns, you can also apply Rascal Spot every eight weeks to prevent damage.

Rascal Spot can be used in all climates on all types of turf. This product is safe for kids, animals, and wildlife. A one quart bottle will cover a 5000-square-foot lawn.

You love your dog, though you don’t like what he or she is doing to your lawn.

Rascal Spots is a spray that can fix dog urine patches on your lawn as they occur, or prevent them from happening in the first place.

This ready-to-spray concentrate is a natural, organic, nonchemical product designed to protect, or cure, damage to any part of a lawn. The formula is effective for all climate regions, all soil types and all grass species.

Rascal Spots consumes ammonia from the urine, binds salts from the urine and increases soil permeability to allow for grass recovery.

“We have the … product that attacks to the root of the problem — salt buildup from the pet’s urine,” said Edd Goerger, president of Natural Solutions, makers of Rascal Spots.

Anyone with a lawn and a dog who uses it as a lavatory will have a buildup of salts.

Rascal Spots will help prevent and cure problem areas.

Goerger came up with the idea after experiencing the problem of dead spots in his own lawn. He worked with a soil scientist who used natural products to develop the Rascal Spots formula.

“By sequestering the salt, it is not attracted to and attached to soil particles, and that allows the salt to move through the soil profile with regular watering or rain,” he said, according to a press release.

Rascal Spots also utilizes “greenalizer technology” that greens up the lawn naturally with microbes in the same application. To use, attach the bottle of Rascal Spots to a garden hose and spray the affected area. One bottle covers 5,000 square feet.

To speed up grass growth in affected areas, reseeding can be done immediately after application. You can apply Rascal Spots any time from first greening in early spring through fall dormancy.

Rascal Spots is made in the U.S. from organic compounds and non-pathogenic bacteria, which is safe for lawns and will not harm animals or children. Retail price is $35 for a quart bottle. For more information, call 701-318-0690 or visit www.rascalspots.com.
