  Natural Deer Poop Lawn Fertilizer

Soil testing is smart, and even free in some places. Try your local ag fertilizer dealer or the area university ag extension office. But lawns need to drink as well. In most soils - particularly clay - a good moist thatch layer is like a drinking fountain for grass. As the thatch layer gradually decomposes from the bottom up, it turns into free compost. That's why I don't bag my clippings, they're essential to propagating a good thatch layer. But even a good thing can be overdone. Too much water will drown grass, so drainage is an equally important consideration
y
But back to soil testing. First of all, rake the deer droppings before the grass comes out of hibernation so they're evenly distributed. That will avoid "hot spots", and make the spring adjusting of the pH less. Implicated. Take small soil samples from several representative spots in the yard/lawn. My ag extension office provides little boxes just for that purpose. That will permit their agronomists to customize a feed mixture specific to your then-current soil conditions

Aeration is 100% excellent advice, I'm sorry I didn't include it in my own post. Aeration lets the thatch layer "breath", and promotes drainage. Core aeration however, is really intended only to prep the lawn for subsequent application of the chemical recipe you get from the agronomists. Otherwise a simple blade aeration is sufficient.
