CAPE Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Southern NJ and also the MD beaches getting pummeled this afternoon. Just had a very brief downpour here. 0.35" since midnight, and 1.45" for the week. 5.33" for the month so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 3 hours ago, SnowtoRain said: Grass going dormant (brown) during the summer is the adaption to the climate in that region. In many instances the grass we grow in our yards is non-native so it is not adapted to our local climate and needs more watering and nutrients to survive. This is compounded by newer, mid 90s on, developments completely stripping top soil and compacting subsoil. The top soil is replaced but basically you have 6 inches of soil and greatly reduced water holding capacity. It is striking to see water running out of lawns after a rainfall even during dry periods because the there is no water storage capacity. There is research being completed by UMBC researchers on how to create better soil health in residential and urban areas to reduce runoff and increase the health of lawns and recreational green spaces. Sorry this is banter delete if needed. I have tried about every blend of tall fescue, including local blends specifically formulated for the soils of the eastern shore (Talbot Ag). They were horrible lol. Burned up by June. All blends fail in the direct sun areas during the high sun period of summer. Now I am in the woods, with very well drained soil, so that is an issue. The pH is good, and i feed correctly. Best results I have had is with original Black Beauty, but it also fails in the direct sun areas. I am going to reseed in a few weeks in those areas (thatch now) with their "sunny" blend, and see how that does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neighbors PWS seems pretty good most of the time. But I think it was way off in Wednesday afternoons storm where it only reported like 0.06” during a 30min deluge. I suspect it was the wind.

CAPE Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 79 here, but still humid. Pretty decent line of storms moving south over here. See if it holds together. Might pick up a bit more rain this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frd Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 2 hours ago, CAPE said: Best results I have had is with original Black Beauty, but it also fails in the direct sun areas True. Hard to combat the high sun angle. With decreasing sun angle getting under way and longer nights coming up the reseeding shall begin. Black Beauty is pretty good. On a weather related note bluewave posted something very interesting a week back that the dews/humidity levels are rising since the last Super Nino. I imagine that may play into the higher overnight minimums in the summer, and the growing issue of mildew, plant fungus , etc. So far this has been the case from back in May : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 .34” yesterday is the best day yet for July, and finally over an inch for the month. Not unusual, but frustrating that the closest CoCoRaHS station to me is a couple of miles away and is 2” better than me for the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
