The trick Nana taught me isn’t about pouring chemicals onto your lawn or spending hours reseeding and watering. It’s about a natural, easy-to-apply mixture that you can make with ingredients you probably already have at home. Here’s what you need:
Epsom Salt: Epsom salt is rich in magnesium, which is essential for the production of chlorophyll. It helps grass stay green and healthy.
Mild Dish Soap: A few drops of dish soap can break the surface tension of the soil, allowing the nutrients to penetrate more effectively. It also helps the solution adhere to the grass blades and soil.
Water: The final and most crucial ingredient.
How to Apply the Solution
Mix the Ingredients:
In a large bucket or watering can, mix 2 tablespoons of Epsom salt with 2 gallons of water.
Add a few drops of mild dish soap (make sure it’s free of harsh chemicals that could harm your lawn).
Spot Treat the Brown Patches:
Pour the mixture directly onto the brown patches. Make sure the area is thoroughly soaked but not waterlogged.
Water Regularly:
