I was watering my plants a ton in June. I don't ever water my grass, too much time and effort and well is too shallow anyway. July and Aug have been pretty decent precip wise, so kept green for the most part the past couple months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backedgeapproaching Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Its go time IMO. Like I mentioned before, it all comes down to irrigation and if you can water or your going to rely on rain alone. Thats the biggest success/fail factor.

Still looks warm with current soil temp at 80F in the tropics down there. Looking at the historical graph, the averages soil temp drops quickly in September based on 5 and 10 year data. He could probably wait, but still think he could drop soon. But you guys have more time down there for sure. Soil temp was 59F last year on Halloween. https://www.greencastonline.com/tools/soil-temperature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kill all the existing weeds and make sure you core aerate/dethatch the hell out of lawn. That may take a weekend alone. Mid September will be fine to drop seed.

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Also, does anyone want to venture to guess why some of my new blue spruce trees look ever so “faded” on the bottom. They aren’t brown, but the needles don’t look 100% healthy. Could it just be that they were newly transplanted this year and it’s been hot and dry? (I’ve been watering them appropriate amounts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
