The Red Brick Times

Lots of dryness. Things turning brown. I am deep-watering my trees and bushes to keep them alive for next year. I set the hose to release a bare trickle of water and set it down at the base of the tree. Then I move it 24 to 48 hours later. Longer for the big oak, lesser for the evergreen bushes. But the lawn seems to be a lost cause. Last year's summer dry spell killed patches, and this year's is enlarging them. I see a large roto-tiller and truckloads of topsoil in my future.

Fortunately, I found the site about Organic Lawn Care For the Cheap and Lazy. Good advice about watering and what it should be doing for the plants, and about fertilizing to give nutrients to the lawn to make it strong instead of to kill competing species by toxic means.
