    Wow, that IS spooky! My first thought was that some kind of poisonous stuff has surfaced and killed the grass, but since nothing has been going on there for so many years, it's really strange. Even that shed was removed over 30 years ago.

    If you ever find out the reason, let us know.

    How very odd - no one laid a tarp down there or anything?

    Nope - nothing! That was my thought when I first noticed it and I asked my son if he put down any kind of lumber or a tarp. Nope! We are both wracking our brains on this one.....

    I'm thinking of taking a soil sample over to Southern States (an ag store) to see if they can analyze it.

    My first thought was if it was sod and that section of sod died, but obviously that's not the case.
    That is bizarre! And what makes it even more strange is how it is a perfect square.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Could there be some cement not to far under the square? Maybe an old cistern is under the ground in that spot?

    I was thinking your septic bed because it's so squareut usually the grass is always thicker and greener on there. Did you pour anything caustic down your toilet or sinks that could have cause some bubbling and affected the grass? Can't be cinch bugs, they don't cut a nice square patch like that. Does make you think that maybe something hovered just on top of the spot...

    Spooky for sure but there has to be an answer.
