Hi,
I have a small fenced in grassy area next to my home for my dog to
roam
around in. Lately with the summer heat it has developed the sour
smell of
urine.
Does anyone know of a simple treatment for this that is not
harmful to my
dog?

I believe cover it with a layer of compost will help.

This is from my compost note:

Many gardeners with a high proportion of acid-rich materials to
compost mistakenly add lime to their pile to produce compost with a
balanced pH. Unfortunately, adding ground limestone will turn your
compost ecosystem into an ammonia factory, with nitrogen rapidly lost
as a noxious gas.

Regards,
Wong
