Ty

Is there one for nne?

0.32"

Little thunder, but at least some rn. 0.23" atm

Hvy rn in Windham

here we go again. Mtns get storms, SNE gets storms, but nearly nothing in between. This wx is frickin boring

looks like precip is going to be on the low side unless we get under a heavy cell. I'll go out on limb and say 0.1" by tomorrow a.m. Our little mini drought continues.

Never went to blue back in school. Not starting now[emoji2]

Red potato pie is the best

It's actually willington. We'll be swinging by Uconn first (old grad school stomping grounds).

wife and I will be visiting a friend this weekend in tolland.

I did the overseeding Fall of 2017 and rented a slit seeder and used KYB mix. Obviously I suck badly at lawns cause that didn't take either.

those blades look more fescue like. Not like the thick, stiff blade I see online. Are there different varieties?

Been reading online a bit today. The flat spot out back is 7000sqft. Suggestion is to do one plug for every sqft = 7000. Granted, not every sqft of that area needs fixing, but it's gonna look weird to have a grass species like that next to fescue, KBG until it eventually takes over. IDK what to do. Apparently zoysia seed is difficult to grow, requires a lot of water early on and only works well if starting from topsoil. The more plugs you put in the faster it spreads, but from what I read, 1-3yrs or so. I'm tired of waiting to have a good decent looking lawn, so not sure I want to put in the effort of plugging.

Found this place online out of Maryland. $29 for box of 50 plugs. https://www.zoysiaplug.com/products/zoysia-grass-plugs

May try the zoysia. I was chatting online with a place and they were a little skeptical about it doing well in maine.

the slope torch makes sense since much of the water flows down and away from the roots, but what about the flat section (newly seeded 2 yrs ago) in the background? This was prepared with 12" sand then 4" loam. Granted, it's in the sun all day too, but I figured the moisture would be better retained there then slope sections, yet the soil is bone dry. Anyhoo, we need rain.

I think most of it is. Owners say they get people in there in winter. There's a wood stove.

It's rather comical at this point. Spend all this money for lawn looks, and have a field to look at. Will need to drill another well to get any real irrigation, but that's a very costly project. I don't think I've seen it look this bad

That's incredible looking. I like mine better though[emoji3]

If you were closer, we'd bring our tent. Beautiful spot

Won't be cutting lawn anytime soon

Off grid cabin this wknd up in Evans Notch. Little cycling and hiking, swimming in the Cold River. Outdoor shower was refreshing. Back home, 80/47.7
