The only idiom here is me for planting more grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Current temp is 81. That's nice. Dew point is still at 68. (I see it's down to 64 now at MDT) That's not quite as nice. It's definitely more uncomfortable today than I was expecting. Which means...I need to adjust expectations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs some kind of ground cover. Insurance paid to rip out and reseed once, and I am trying to keep some of that alive. I have been fairly quiet about it this year compared to the past. Two or Three years ago (I think) the drought was WV. Western MD and only a small area of PA near me while a lot of you guys where swimming in rain on and off...I had trouble being so composed then. Plus, this is NOTHING compared to that. 1"-2" in about 90 days. At one point we had a 15" deficit for the year (as did HGR....12-15). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jns2183 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I'm also weird in while not being a huge fan of the state I believe they should be able to set water rates for different uses with draconian appellies for cheating the system. Frankly I don't believe grass should be grown at all in most of the Southwest or California and if it is the money raised from it should be able to pretty much fund the rest of the government. I mean I guess I don't have a problem with some ridiculously rich person wants to pay 10 million dollars a year to grow grass on this one acre lot but at least make it worthwhile for everybody elseSent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jns2183 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I think it may be against the rule to water grass in some areas. Truthfully out there nothing makes a difference compared to The agriculture sector that just a few families own most of. They use far more water than human consumption does. The trade-off is a lot higher prices at the grocery store for a lot of items though. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk If you go to Delaware/Southern MD you will see those giant football field sized irrigators that straddle the fields. Not sure if they just do water or do water and some kind of plant food/fertilizer/pest deterrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 If I were in charge I'd ban lawns over say 250 sq ft. Seriously. They should be natural habitats - you can mow and keep natural vegetation tidy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Florida, maintaining a lawn is a requirement of many gated and HOA based communities. The water bill is sometimes 200-300/MO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest was woods or closer to the house natural vegetation we brushed hogged a few times a year if needed. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean anyone can do anything but to me it is hard to ask someone to just let their 1-2 no tree acres yard grow what it wants. Understand your opinion though.

Jns2183 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 California! I'd rather they do this than waste water out west where water is needed for the basics. I'd also rather go without almonds and a lot of nuts that are super water intensive. If people want them they can pay a super high premium for themSent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Maybe I don't understand or know how to read observations - from what I can see, the airport in West Ocean City has received 1.84" of rain today. Are those ridiculous amounts farther south over Assateague Island? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
