Grass Clippings

Preventing dog urine burns in lawns

All lawn owners with dogs have been there. Their green lawns polka dotted with brown pee marks from their beloved pooch. There are the many old wive's tales of adding tomato juice into their dogs' food or water bowl to reduce the impact of their dog urine burn mark on the lawn.

The Team at Grass Clippings have been busy trialing a new product that actually works! They have also given some consideration to repairing the damage afterwards, one that is 'soil less' and very effective.

Creating a green living roof

Life on the other roof may be a little greener....

The Team at Grass Clippings normally provide help and assistance with lawns and their care but as we have a strong following of over 10,000 technical page views each month, we like to keep our readers in touch with lawn alternatives as well as the Fescues and Bents.

Should you want a lawn alternative, why not consider Enviromat Sedum Matting as a green surface instead of grass? It will not be 100% maintenance free but at least you will not need to get the mower out each week to give it a trim!

Lawnfest at West Heath School

It is not often that I get to read the glossy celebrity magazines but whilst waiting for the Dentist, an article in OK Magazine caught my eye on account of the name of 'Lawnfest'.

I thought that there was a festival of lawns that we were not aware of that had slipped the net.

Lawnfest is a charity fundraiser organised by Camilla Fayed at West Heath School based in Sevenoaks, Kent.

Controlling an outbreak of 'Rust' on your lawn

The last time I thought about treating Rust was on my old Mini Metro that was rather prone to it on the front panels - well it was almost a 100 rust bucket to be honest! Glad to see that car construction has moved on a bit since the early 80's.

Now we bet you were not aware of the fact that your lawn can suffer from an outbreak of Rust?
