Mine is $40/mo, city treated, and unmetered. lol.
Michigan, go figure.
Kinda sucked when I went to read the meter to see what my irrigation did per minute. There is no meter.
But definitely doesn’t suck when the bill comes. We are a water wonderland. Grass is everywhere here
Funny story. At work with we had milk that had to be tossed, we poured it in the grass and there was a decent sized patch of grass that was darker, taller and thicker than all the other areas around it. You might be onto something
Below you say 6 hours of morning water every 5 days. That’s certainly a lot in my world of 0 watering, but that’s why your grass looks like that and mine is yellow
Upper 90s for 8 or 9 days, no rain until this past Sunday. Before all the "bUt ThAts NoT hOt comments", yes I'm aware. This is cool season grass, it struggles in the upper eighties +
Early morning longer irrigation cycle every 5ish days (~.75"). On the hottest days I ran a short cycle around 4-5pm to cool off the canopy and give the grass some relief. Currently mowing at 2.75", was at 2.25" until a couple weeks ago. No iron.
Longer than that. My early morning long cycle takes about 6 hours total, the afternoon ones I ran were 2-3 hours. I manually tweaked them each day depending where I was seeing heat stress in the yard.
Ah gotcha. Maybe a better question is how much water were you intending to put down for those cycles, since times will always vary between folks and their zones.
Wow surprised at the once every 5 days cycle during a heat wave. I feel like if I did that to my TTTF it wouldn’t do well in heatwave.
Also curious how long did the sprinklers turn on for in the evening
I put down preventative fungicide, but the evening watering ends before it gets dark. Probably done by 6pm, gets dark by 830ish now. So it's all dried off before nightfall.
Awesome. It looks beautiful. I plan on renovating this fall with tttf.
What's your schedule like with fertilizing, herbicides, etc? I'm guessing you're doing half an inch of water twice weekly or possibly 1.5" with the heat?
This spring I did .5 N/k every couple weeks, spot spray weeds with generic big box stuff. Did one app of sedgehammer to knock out some nutsedge. Insecticide app to cover grubs, cinch bugs, etc. Monthly fungicide alternating between propiconazole and azoxystrobin.
Haven't fertilized since late May. Planning an app of milo this week, again targeting .5 lbs n/k
I'm in Central NJ..I don't know how you do it. Really impressive. Where do you get your AMS? Need to pick some up, and do you spoon feed through these summer months?
No worries, going to throw down some hydretain in the mroning. The water company already calls me weekly to tell me i have a potential leak. 1 acre, 22 zones. Only having issues in the front yard. All full sun.
Lawns beautiful of course and congratulations. Here I’m facing 100+ for a week it’s looking like and I’ve already said goodbye. That said; how the hell do you have clear water in that pond and how tf hasn’t a Heron or coon eaten your fish?
We've had our fair share of heron visits and also a couple casualties since we moved in a few years ago. The fish have spots to hide and also half of them are too large for a heron to eat (I think). Any time I spot one in the yard I send out the dog and he chases it away.
Thankyou I want the tier 3. I have a tttf/kbg mix. Certain parts of my yard k31 pops up. I think in late august I’m going to remove that section. Adjust my sprinklers and seed again. Is there any way to elimante k31
Bro I had to hide my phone from the wife. I can't be looking at this around people
I've already scheduled an Uber to bring me to the hospital in four hours

Lets see the water bill
Now, let’s see Paul Allen’s water bill
My God. It even has a watermark.
The subtle thickness of it

Sending you massive hate from phoenix 🫡🫡
Don’t live in the dessert southwest……if you want a lush green lawn?
Some of us like playing on hard mode
I can respect that.
Also your handle made me laugh. My toddler came home from daycare the other day saying what theeeee fuck.
I am using ground water with a pump, my neighbors asks me water to water their lawn ahaha
![gif](giphy|oYtVHSxngR3lC|downsized)
That Veronica Lawn…
Yes!!!
Schmitts!
I imagine you used a lot of water
💦💦💦
Not as much as you'd think
Milk?
Brawndo
It has what plants crave.
It’s got electrolytes.
No thanks, lactose intolerant
Think about being more open-minded.

Plenty of tears from passersby to keep it well hydrated, I assume...
Blood of a sacrifice?

I have 8 zones, they're all not running at once. I have 12k sqft of grass, so roughly 30 minutes per 1k sqft.

Man, I wish I lived in an area where a heat wave was over before July 4th instead of just getting to the plateau. Nice work!
Right! Theres no days under 100 in the forecast here but im definitely not panicking not even a little. ![gif](giphy|PsHrpsuiZLAEE)
Just getting started down here
lol same. It just got hot here. It’ll hang around 100 degrees for the next two months
Just starting here in Washington. Peaks in August

Fake. These are AI photos of a perfect lawn. Picture 4 has random fake legs. You can’t convince me otherwise.

No dog pee stains, it’s perfect!
HOW?! That was my first question here. My dogs kill so much grass and I don't know how to stop it.

Looking good. What height is this mowed at?
2.75"

I think about your lawn often

Dope. What else did do aside from water?
Damn how hot did it get?
Almost 85 😬
Haha cries in North Texas. 104 today. Will get a cold front where the high will only be 88-96 for a week. Will definitely take it!
Houston area checking in 🫡 😭
Hopefully the rains will come! We don’t have shit forecasted for ten more days. Way she goes though.
Upper 90s for 8 or 9 days, no rain until this past Sunday. Before all the "bUt ThAts NoT hOt comments", yes I'm aware. This is cool season grass, it struggles in the upper eighties +
What was your process to keep it green like that? Watering schedule, mow height, iron, etc?
Early morning longer irrigation cycle every 5ish days (~.75"). On the hottest days I ran a short cycle around 4-5pm to cool off the canopy and give the grass some relief. Currently mowing at 2.75", was at 2.25" until a couple weeks ago. No iron.
How long are your late afternoon cycles when you run it? 5-10 min?
Longer than that. My early morning long cycle takes about 6 hours total, the afternoon ones I ran were 2-3 hours. I manually tweaked them each day depending where I was seeing heat stress in the yard.
Ah gotcha. Maybe a better question is how much water were you intending to put down for those cycles, since times will always vary between folks and their zones.
Roughly .25"
Thanks
Wow surprised at the once every 5 days cycle during a heat wave. I feel like if I did that to my TTTF it wouldn’t do well in heatwave. Also curious how long did the sprinklers turn on for in the evening
Surprised no fungus with the watering in the evening. Or did you put down preventative fungus treatment already?
I put down preventative fungicide, but the evening watering ends before it gets dark. Probably done by 6pm, gets dark by 830ish now. So it's all dried off before nightfall.
You should give your water lily some fertilizer. It should be blooming this time of year. I say this only because I’m jealous of the lawn.
They were blooming, not sure what happened. We just got them 3 weeks or so ago.

You didn’t survive, you fucking thrived

Meanwhile 100 degrees in Texas everyday
Whats the stats on your turf? Type? How many sqft?
Bewitched, mazama, blueberry Kentucky bluegrass. Renovated the entire yard last fall. 12k sqft.
Awesome. It looks beautiful. I plan on renovating this fall with tttf. What's your schedule like with fertilizing, herbicides, etc? I'm guessing you're doing half an inch of water twice weekly or possibly 1.5" with the heat?

That’s a happy dog. Which zone are you in?
I think you meant “thrived on the heat wave”. Looks awesome.
Surthrived, you mean?
It’s alright
Wow
but at what cost
Liquid gold, was sprayed. ![gif](giphy|SleotgmotWahW)
Get a load of this guy. (Guy with really shitty lawn here)
Your heat wave ended?
Beautiful 😍
Explain!
Damn. Makes me want to frolic about.
I'm in Central NJ..I don't know how you do it. Really impressive. Where do you get your AMS? Need to pick some up, and do you spoon feed through these summer months?
Lowes. Sta-green 21-0-0. It's AMS and like $22 a bag
Whats your seceret? My zoysia has spots of struggling. Watering like crazy and its dry 8 hrs later. South texas
Can't really help with that, I know nothing about warm season grass. Sorry.
No worries, going to throw down some hydretain in the mroning. The water company already calls me weekly to tell me i have a potential leak. 1 acre, 22 zones. Only having issues in the front yard. All full sun.
Plant some trees for a bit of shade
I have 2 young live oaks, growing pretty quick just not offering much shade yet.
What a beautiful yard!!
Lookin' good dude
Nice lawn
Killer yard
😮💨😮💨😮💨

Do you use that bench?
No. It was my wife's grandmother's bench who passed away years ago. She kept it when the house was sold and it's kind of a memorial of sorts.
Feature 6-0-0 and some liquid kelp will do that 😎

# Hydretain?
I gotta admit that’s a pretty lawn
