The Beginning

At the risk of being philosophical, everything has to begin somewhere. The beginning of this blog is the fall of 2007.


Summer was hot and dry. The lawn is in terrible shape. Water restrictions have been in place for months and it shows. Things are so bad, I hardly know where to start. So........ what I decided was to see what kind of results I can get by applying conventional wisdom. Mow the lawn (weeds) short, do a heavy over seeding, fertilize and then add plenty of water. We have an irrigation system so I set it up to run twice a day, once about 4:30 am and again at 4:00 pm. The idea is to keep the seed moist and hopefully improve germination.

We'll see later what the results are.
