You may want to do something about that. all of central bucks and northern bucks are like that. when i went to college in doylestown it would take days for it to dry.

Probably a ton of clay that's the perfect kind of dirt for racing. keeps the moisture in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quakertown needs snow Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 Your yard seems poorly drained. You may want to do something about that. top soil on clay and rock (hence west rockhill township )= last to dry out our woods are even worse.

wederwarrior Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Longest day of the year! The extra sunlight might help you out Q-town. I must say that spring was most enjoyable. Not to hot and copious amounts of water. 9/10 in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 walked back yard tonight. wet areas still like walking on wet sponge. weed whacker cut only. The opposite here as i live near the top of the hill and have a general slope. Litterally never a soggy spot even after the two big rainstorms this month it drains fantastic. However dries out quicker Have a ridge like peak on the side lawn that sparsely grows grass that was "bone" dry soon as yesterday but front back and other side lawn grows lush grass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two things that probably cause your area to never dry out. The clay, the rock would actually help in drainage but that's prob we'll below the clay. 2nd you probably have a high water table. I know around where I live a lot of people have wells and sump pumps in their basements because of the high water table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCT777 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I worked from home yesterday because the air conditioning was not functioning properly in the building I work in. So I went outside for 45 minutes during my lunch hour to mow my front lawn (I was worried about t-storms forming later on which would prevent me from doing this in the evening). I guess there are some folks who love the idea of being completely drenched in sweat, but 90 degree temps with DP's over 70 and full sunshine is not exactly my ideal weather conditions for doing yardwork. Give me low 80's with DP's below 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCT777 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Since Grothar isn't posting here as of late (not sure if he was banned or given a timeout), I'm not sure anyone is still mentioning drought. Well, except maybe RedSky (whose house is seemingly being missed by the heavier rains over the past month). In other news, I'm hoping the day of the 4th is relatively dry. Otherwise it's fine to have some rain and t-storms to track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
