Fertilize, but lightly to avoid increasing the dog problem.

Mow LONG at least once a week during the high growth period. If you

collect the sun.


Thanks for the reply.

Should I try putting some more grass seed down?


Can't hurt, at least on the bare spots. Sprinkle a little dirt over the seed,
just enough to cover the seed, then keep it damp, not wet, until it sprouts. If
you let the seed dry out,it won't made it. A sprinkler on a timer so it gets 5
minutes of water a few time a day will do wonders.
