How to Remove Brown Lawn Spots with Beer

We all want the grass to be greener on our side of the fence. So what should you do when you notice those brown patches in the middle of your plush patch of green? Instead of paying a fortune for chemicals to fix the problem, try this remedy first.

Things You'll Need

• Bottled Beer
• Spray Bottle

Instructions

1. Assess your lawn situation to see how many brown spots you have. Large spots, the size of a hub cap, may require a full bottle of beer so do your math and calculate how much beer you will need.

2. Take a large, clean spray bottle and fill it with beer. It doesn't matter if the beer is cold or at room temperature as long as it's not stale. Chemical-free brews, such as Rolling Rock, do the best job of restoring your lawn.

3. Saturate the brown spots in the lawn with the beer. Your lawn will soak up the fermented sugar from the beer and soon return to a lovely shade of green. If the grass doesn't quite return to its former color, repeat the application.

Tips & Warnings

• The fermented sugar in beer also stimulates plant growth and removes fungus.
