Did you poa annua die last week?Dave wrote:jglongisland wrote:Awesome. How often did you have to water last week? Lived on LI for a long time, never saw thermometer break 100, let alone for 2 days in a row.
I did water a lot. At least every day if it was over 85 and sunny. 20-30 minutes at a time. I was NOT going to let the lawn die or go dormant during it's first growth season.
No turning back now

Yes, back in may I did. I pulled some and used RU on the rest and pulled it. That was the end of it. The holes filled in pretty fast.

Looks great. Your neighbors have nice grass too . I may have asked before - is your soil basically a beach like mine?

Pretty much. I can't get the PH up because the lime just heads straight for China.

Re: No turning back now
I distinctly remember planting some shrubs about 9 years ago after I moved in. I dug a hole like that, filled it with water, walked about 25 feet to get the azalea and came back and the water was gone.Dave wrote:jglongisland wrote:Looks great.

I've been dumping tons of organics and it has helped tremendously.
