IrishRob17 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 that must be fun when it's 88/70 Its a great workout, that's for sure, at least 6 miles of walking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forkyfork Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Because it looks nice...and who wants their kids running around on crunchy dry grass? there are lots of low growing plants that don't need as much water and fertilizer. and take your kids to a playground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psv88 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 there are lots of low growing plants that don't need as much water and fertilizer. and take your kids to a playground There is no point in living in the suburbs if i need to take my daughter to a playground...thats why i have a yard, so i can open the backdoor and let her play on her own.

IrishRob17 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 there are lots of low growing plants that don't need as much water and fertilizer. and take your kids to a playground It doesn't take as much fertilizer as many think, and others use, to have a decent lawn. I get your point though and I'm kinda stuck in the middle on this one. While I see it as wasteful and harmful to fertilize and water the hell out of a yard, I do enjoy a green healthy lawn.

UnionWeatherWx Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 To be fair, it's easier to run on crunchy, brown, dry grass IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForestHillWx Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Mix in Dutch clover where you can. It will transport nitrogen back into the soil and act to crowd out other weeds. The drawback is it will increase bee activity. But, if you don't mind the bees (as an apiarist, I thank you) bring it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 My yard is too big to cover with sprinklers but I do focus a bit on the section we use the most and will water there leading up to when I have a gathering. Otherwise screw it, the grass isn't going to die, unless its new from seed, it just goes dormant and it saves me mowing time which typically takes me about two hours. Yup, drought conditions are a blessing in that respect. It takes me about 3 hours to do my yard, even with a 60" zero-turn riding mower. Haven't had to do it in a couple weeks now.

I did part of mine yesterday to even out the areas that are still growing a bit with the dormant sections, it had been two weeks for me since the last mowing.

Michael05192016 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Forkyfork is craving a derecho so bad right now. 1000-500mb 585 thicknes height; 592 ridge at 500; and a 97 over 78. Enjoying SB Cape of 3550 and -11 LI, with a SPC moderate risk. Don't you wish this was happening right now, well not this year. The Capeless and dewless summer continues. The Derecho eventually showing up for the July 4 weekend will hit Atlanta........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Atleast the mosquitos are taking it up the in this dry period. Not bear the water I got mauled by them a couple days ago. Went to high hill beach (used to be a town east of jones beach before Robert Moses had the whole town moved and inlet filled) to get cement for our life gaurs swim buoy. I'm talking straight out of the tundra bad. I must have gotten bit 100 times in 5 minutes. They were inches a part covering every peice of skin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 That was a beautiful summer it was remarkable that NYC had the coldest June and July in over 100 years in such a record warm summer period since 2005. Really wild extreme to have 2009 followed by the warmest summer on record the very next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
