    I'm a professional groundskeeper and I always say, when it's hot and dry, mow it high to the sky.

    Hot and bone dry here too, 38c (100f) North Okanagan, BC, Canada. I’m on the edge of a large semi desert, it’s normal to see 6 -8 weeks or more without a drop of rain through the summer.

    I just want a break from the rain during mud season. My garden drainage wasn't on point so I lost most of my tomatoes from oversaturation.

    We get big droughts in Australia. Walking across a paddock with the dry grass crunching under his boots was one of dad’s favourite activities.
    The last big drought we had ended in 2020. Since then it’s been raining almost every week.

    I missed the Premier section. Shit, I forgot to pray for rain for you for your grass! But I heard the Toto song a few times? Does that count? What did Dad say, Trust in God, but work as if it depends on you. RIP Dad. Sounds like you understand plant biology. Give those fields that bio juice! Good medicine! WOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! 07-04-2024

    I cut grass yesterday for the 1st time in over a month. We got a 3' rain shower last week and i let it get some regrowth then mowed. Second cutting of hay is pretty much a no go this year will have to wait till fall to get the second cutting.

    Haven't mowed in 3 weeks. The last mow was at the highest setting. I am in a valley, so the moisture is good, and the grass is nice and green.

    In 1945 my father and friends along with grandpa dug in water lines in from the lake up to the homestead for the garden and the flied to water set on 15 foot high pipes with sprinkler ends. It served on to purposes to water the ground but also for fire protection run on a gas engine by the lake

    People don't realize that if they really pay attention to how much water their grass gets they can have a lot more healthy yard. Watering your grass every day is not a good thing. The stronger the roots the healthier your grass is. Less likely to get disease too.

    Good point… I never thought about those cracks in the soil and thought of them as a good thing… Now I’m thinking about how those cracks allow seeds to get down, water to get in deeper when it does finally come

  • @drumhillerfarms6858
    @drumhillerfarms6858 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Over grazing is not how much you take, it’s coming back to the plant before it’s fully recovered. It’s all about management, we are still on first rotation and have at least another 45 days on that. With 80 days recovery the heat don’t play that much of a factor in the recovery of the grass.

    • @StoneyRidgeFarmer
      @StoneyRidgeFarmer  หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      you must be in the south somewhere.....80 days is all summer long! How many 80 day grazing periods can ya get in a year......only 2 of those grazings will have grass that's actually growing right? I'm very curious as to where you live if you're getting 80 days and still have grass growing....do your pastures get "bushy"?
