I always tell people, if you want that lush lawn, you should have stopped in the Carolinas somewhere. Bermuda grass is a plague here is some places. My grandfather build a sort of Fresno Scraper to cut and uproot the Bermuda grass on the farm. Lawn was all BG. Hated cutting that huge amount of BG. No riding mower, but a reel mower he added an electric motor too. Had to shake my head when I was reading the farm magazine as a kid and they were touting an improved Bermuda grass. |

I take a spray bottle with me on the mower and will give weeds a shot when I'm mowing - one weed at a time. I do put down a pre-emergent weed killer in the fall and again in the spring. The problem here is if you are not putting an inch of water on the grass a week here, minimum, the grasses we have here will not survive the dry season so we who care about wasting water, learn to live with the drought tolerant stuff you would call seeds. Most of the grass we grow here, even with chemicals and a **** load of water, would be a weed in your yard. The most popular turf for people who want to see a lush lawn (Floratam aka St Augustine grass) also requires lots of chemicals because we have bugs that love it. I will stick with the stuff that will grow naturally. It never seemed right to pump my drinking water out on the lawn when the static water level in the aquifers is dropping a foot or two a year. I am down 80 feet and I expect to be sucking air before summer. It was artesian when I moved here 35 years ago. City water? Sure if a penny a gallon is OK with you for a lawn. That sticker shock has grabbed more than one northerner the first time they get their bill. We use recycled water for lawns. It's pretty expensive but if we don't water we get warnings from the HOA. We are lucky. Living within a couple miles of the Potomac makes water fairly cheap. I have a sprinkler system that I put in a few years ago. It adds a bit to the water bill, but I like having the nicest lawn in the neighborhood. It's a pride thing. Whatever blouses your trousers. Around here it just identifies you as the one who is ****ing away our drinking water on grass and polluting the river with nutrients and chemicals. I don't guess the Chesapeake has any of those problems tho ;-) Every summer I maintain a nicely mowed lawn of weeds. It's green and looks good from a distance. :-) -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |
