Sounds like you were watching Jerry Baker. That guy sure does cook up
some crazy concoctions.

I've had reasonable success getting a quick green-up using whatever
brand liquid spray fertilizers the local hardware or box store happens
to have on sale. IME the greening effect doesn't last long.

In some cases spraying an Iron/trace mix will have a dramatic effect as
well, results vary dramatically depending on your soil type & it's
deficiencies, if any.

You may be better drinking the beer and urinating on your lawn, thereby
adding natural urea to it. Depending on the size of your lawn you may have
to drink a shit load of beer. Good luck.

No. The uric salts in urine attack the roots. Discolors the grass, and
inhibits growth.

That's not been my experience. Done correctly it greens up the lawn quite
nicely.

My dog's urine has been leaving large brown spots on the grass in my yard.
Think I need to up their beer intake?

I think it depends on location. In North Texas, wherever the dog
urinated, the bermuda grass turned green. Whereas, in CO and
NC the same dog killed the grass. CO had bluegrass and
NC tall fescue. Same dog and same feed. Maybe it's in the
water, ha!

Especially if you let the bitch **** on the grass.
