OPs have been vacillating between keeping the ridge too strong vs. the sub trop low attacking it. Right now, attacking is the overwhelming winner. We get 1"+ and the hoses are done for the season (at least for grass.). This is the earliest I have stopped mowing since coming back in 2018. 4/5 of the yard is sleeping for winter at this point. The water I am putting on it is the keep it alive as even asleep, it needs water 1-2 times a week until real hibernation when freezes start.
