Chlorinating grass

Hi, how much bleach per litre should I use for disinfecting grass without killing it off? Anyone done this before? Or can recommend what I can buy? Thanks

Why do you want to disinfect the grass?

Are you talking about artificial grass/Astro turf?

You can't disinfect actual living, in the ground grass.

Good grief why would you need to do such a thing

I thought that at first but they talk about killing it off so I assumed real grass.

I have never heard of anyone disinfecting real grass before.

It would be easier to disinfect yourself. Why do you need to disinfect the grass?

Please don't pour bleach on the ground

Bleach is terrible for the environment and I suspect would harm the grass even when diluted. If you’re worried because (say) a pet has pooped on the grass, just clean it up and then use water to rinse.

Huh?

The safe dosage for grass is the same as the amount of chlorine they put in drinking water coming out of your kitchen tap. Around 2 parts per million. So hardly worth bothering with.

What about the wildlife???

Absolutely do not do this, insane idea!

DogDaysNeverEnd · 23/04/2023 23:13

What are you wanting to achieve? Pouring bleach on the ground seems desperate!

SinisterKnitter · 23/04/2023 23:14

Why on earth would you want to do that?

Blimey, please don’t say that hairy hands have found their way to this save haven of a board 🤣
