I was thinking that. Might be better to water deep as needed. This way you encouraged deep root growth.

Last thing you want is for your roots to have to do a 180 to search for water. Letting the grass go dormant is better than that.

Deep watering does not diminish the upper roots, it encourages a more developed system.

Honestly I don't think I need to go much longer. Water in the morning at 7am. Its a small yard with a lot of sprinklers and begins to puddle pretty quickly. (I'll try and take a pic of all the sprinklers going off)

Also remember this is CA. Its getting high 70s low 80s and as you can see from the picture I have a large tree that covers a lot of the grass in shade so it doesn't get roasted by the sun all day.

I forget about the soil too. How deep can you drive a screwdriver into the soil?

We don't have "soil" here we have sand. It's tough getting a good growth of grass here. If you have a load of black dirt brought in what you normally get is black sand--a waste of money.

Do you ever see earthworms?

When we get a hard rain yes but other than that no.

Well it seems the soil is supporting life. Mulch mow to feed the soil. You could also topdress with peat annually.

I leave clipping usually.
I can slide 6 or 7 inches of a spike into the ground pretty easily.

How you doing brother? I've been feening for a cigar for the last month!

My Township pays 2 bucks a pair for the front feet of these pests. They are hell on the road embankments. We had a kid come in with 300 pairs a couple years ago. A LARGE Zip-lock Baggie full. They take your word for it because nobody wants to count them.

@KOG72 did you feel that earthquake at your house?

Yep sure did we were up sitting on the couch that morning and the walls started shaking it was unreal.

Sounds like a morning at my sisters trailer.
