Typical for summer, we just had a two week dry period. Lawns around me are going into dormancy and those that are avoiding it are either being irrigated or are more fescue.
My back neighbor has responded by watering twice a day--exactly the wrong response as this encourages lawn diseases, intensifies any diseases you have, and results in very short roots on your lawn. Additionally, it costs a fortune in terms of water.
I irrigated once during this period, just a few days ago. Even so, the lawn is dry and we do need rain. There's a 75% chance of it tomorrow, and 90% on Wednesday, and we may get up to two inches.
So from drought to deluge. I'll take it.

Rain, Finally. Maybe.

Hi, not sure how to send a question your way. Been enjoying your experiments here and on around the yard. Could you do a post on all the hose sprayer liquids concoctions you add to your lawn? I'm thinking homemade Aerify (kelp, humic, yucca, molasses, s laureth sulf), maybe milk, perhaps some liquid fertilizers? Anything missing here?
And into Sep we only really have 2 days of rain. I guess the only good thing about that is no gully washers on the renos
