As we enter the first week in August and the count down clock to aeration is ticking!
High temps/soaking rains/high humidity/soil temps over 75 degrees for 30 plus days all created turf struggles. For many this is why people talk about this being one of the tougher areas to grow turf. While the long range forecast looks a little better as some good weather would help on many fronts. For most the damage has been done and the reality is that this has been a tough summer. Even with all the preventative actions sometimes Mother Nature just wins. Hopefully the rain switch is turned off and we have a nice dry fall.
I do know one thing, there will be lots of additional plans for drainage and fan purchases for next years budgets...but if that is anything like buying a snow thrower we will have a dry 2014!
