Thanks for another great experiment. I'm not fond of spot watering but I do it anyways. I never experimented with it the way you did so I'm glad to see your results.
Have you ever considered warm season grass? A whole new learning experience. May hold up better in the warming climate
It looks like the Hydretain application a month ago did not prevent the fescue from going dormant. It may reduce the water needed but with no irrigation or rain it does not keep the grass from dormancy.
I water just enough to keep my wife , the flowers , the Rabbits & the Robins happy. When wife happy , household happy . Hopefully my next house has a well .
It's above 90s this whole week, nights only get down to 65-70. I sprayed Bioadvanced root moisturizer Friday. Sprayed baby shampoo & watered for like 30 minutes, about .5 inches. Will see how lawn survives at end of week.
Hats off to you for doing this experiment. My area hasn't had rain in a couple of weeks I've been running 2 to 3 30 min irrigation cycles per week and still have some heat stress. I cant wait to see the water bill. I need to get some measuring cups to put out in the lawn
I like how recently in Allen Haynes video he showed the lawns around his neighborhood. It really is hard with the heat and no rain. I cringe every time I see the forecast in the '90s for a week. That's what it's been here in Western PA . I'd like to see what Pete's test plot looks like right now with his non-irrigated fescue
I’m in the Triangle as well and I’m starting to think if it keeps on like this all summer I should switch to zoysia in the backyard.
this video is so relatable to my lawn. thank you for this video.
Great video I enjoy see long updates on your lawn as I live a few hours south of you with a lot of the same conditions. The forecast looks brutal no rain for at least 10 more days!
EXCELLENT video! Where are you located? What zone? Just wondering about your weather there.
Seeing what your yard looks like now and what it used to look like. And this is all because of heat and water. Thanks no reason for me to panic. Hasn't gotten like that yet, but at least I know.👍🏽👍🏽
Off the cuff information. How often do you water? How much are you watering at one time (1/2", 1")? If you're like me you get a monthly bill showing the amount of cubic feet of water you used, do you have that amount? I know you depend a lot on the seasonal rains to help, just curious as I don't get a lot of rain here and I have KBG and costs an arm & a leg for water.
I water my lawn every morning (6am) once a day for 10mins or less. I got the most healthy lawn in the block and its dark green. Only used milorganite 1 week before memorial day.
My plumber lowered the water pressure to the house (including the sprinklers). Now that the temps going up I began increasing the length in time of the watering. But I getting stressed out grass - which I would say due to the sprinklers not putting out a longer range (feet) due to the lower pressure. I thought maybe stressed grass due to compaction (we got a lot of rain in the Winter). But late yesterday afternoon I hand watered the stressed areas. Before I saw your video. Those areas looking slightly better. But I think I need to aerate and spray some humic acid.
Oh!!! I ran my lawn sweeper behind the rider & it literally pulled out / up thatch , yellow etc....may become a new technique....Ill let you know how it works out
In NC as well and it’s bad. I have irrigation but there’s spots that don’t get watered well and they’re showing major signs of heat stress. Only thing you can do is hand water those spots and irrigate longer or more frequently(measuring would be best). I’ll be hand watering my stress spots all summer😢.
Thank you Mr Ferg for the confidence. Do you contribute this to salts in the Nitrogen or any salts of the MOP in potassium? A section of my lawn looks the same. I can’t wait for the water to come from Mother Nature.
On that side bank you say might have a dirt problem, maybe when the time is right again, start adding some good organic material. Compost, peat, etc. Maybe hammer it with some Humic or other bio stims.
Do you fertilize before or after you mow the lawn??
