Have a go Nick

Hi all
weve been looking after my brothers dog for a couple of weeks and she's been weeing on the grass and has left a few wee stains on the grass as in the grass has got brown stains on it, has anyone got any ideas to getting back to green again? As in products etc

Just tip a bucketful of water over each brown patch. It'll dilute the effect of the urine. If you still have her with you and she's still doing it, the sooner the water is tipped over the urine patch the better - but not actually as it's being created, unless she's with you permanently and you're determinted to re-train her!

As above
But if patches remain rake them out and reseed with a mix of seed and compost. Good luck.
We've got one, bless her

and whilst she's still with you, I've read that if you put tomato puree in a dog's food it makes their urine less damaging to lawns
For anyone that reads this and has a dog permanently, I use dog rocks, I have 2 dogs (a bitch and a dog) and no stains
Unfortunately it won't help Nick but may help others with the same question.
Tomato juice works as well as purée I believe, although I haven't tried that.
I give my dogs the same water we have which is filtered through one of the stereotypical "Jug Filters" that you keep in the fridge. I know this works as we recently got a puppy and hubby takes him to work during the day where he had regular tap water and the patches reappeared. He now takes a bottle of freshly filtered water with him daily and the patches are recovering.
Is it the right time to plant out some T & M perennials which have been overwintered in an unheated cold frame? The surviving plants appear to be strong and healthy but as an elderly but enthusiastic amateur I would like to do this at the right time.
