Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| You'll need a heavy sledge hammer, maybe a pick-ax and shovel (preferably with a straight bottom similar to this one http://www.lowes.com/pd_334318-302-1592800_4294612716__?productId=3415998&Ns=p_product_qty_sales_dollar|1&pl=1¤tURL=%3FNs%3Dp_product_qty_sales_dollar%7C1&facetInfo=
Then - your soil there looks terrible for growing anything - it will be highly compacted under that concrete rubble. I would cover the whole area with a thick layer of fresh wood chips for a year - this will promote the growth of beneficial fungi at the junction between the soil and the wood chips. After a year or so of wood chips, the area should be much more friable and then can be planted with whatever you like. |

| i moved this to our gardening section if your dead set on grass Amy had great advice but make sure its natural wood chips and not colored ones. cider is great. the only thing with the gravel is you will be throwing a lot of it away with poop. is the fencing to keep the dog in? as they will climb that, at any height. I would just try the wood chips. _________________ |

| It looks quite heavily shaded?? If so then I would forget growing grass. Gravel and bark will be a real pain in the butt as well. There are some wonderful fake grasses available these days. They have drainage holes and you will be able to pick up the poop and hose down easily. You will still need to remove all of the concrete and apply a layer of sand to level out.
There are many shaded ground cover plants that will grow in shade and or sun, the thing you will need to be mindful of, is that grass or most grounds covers will be badly burnt by urine.
Good luck with it, its a nice area and a great blank canvass to work with. |

| I hate grass, I would just put in some good soil and add some nice plants that fit. I don't like to mow. I wouldn't use that fence either, they will just climb it. Privacy fences work. |
