Scotts Miracle-Gro has introduced a new product designed to repair the brown and yellow areas in lawns frequented by dogs.
EZ Seed Dog Spot is a mixture of grass seed, a salt-neutralizing ingredient, and a growing material made from super-absorbent coir, that can soak up to eight times its weight in water and hold moisture 50 percent longer than native soil to help the seed germinate. EZ Seed changes color from dark to light brown when the grass seedlings need moisture, indicating when to water.
"While grass is extremely tough and resilient, it takes a beating from a variety of causes: dog urine spots, high traffic and digging damage," said Eric Nelson, Ph.D. in research and development at Scotts. "EZ Seed Dog Spot is a kid- and pet-friendly product made from renewable resources and is 99.9 percent biodegradable. It contains a special salt neutralizer which minimizes the effects of dog urine. A two-pound jug repairs over 100 dog spots about six inches in diameter."
