............. this morning. Saucer sized. Turned the lawn brown. Bitch
Fox? Given it a thorough soaking, but madam gardener seems to think that
there should be something added to the water.
Advice please

As far as I know once the grass is brown there is no going back, if you
catch the culprit in the act then the water drench works well. My mother
swears by some sort of stone she puts in the dogs water bowl, as ours rarely
drinks from indoor water it doesn't work for me!
I take it you have no dog of your own to blame? it does not by the way have
to be a bitch, dogs urine is just as bad but they normally spray it around
more so it is not so concentrated, ours doesn't cock his leg which is good
for the clematis and roses the previous dog used to scorch with his wee but
bad for my grass which is covered in brown patches.

If anyone else has pearls of wisdom to add I too would like to hear them!

One other possible culprit is petrol
