If you live in Texas and rely on rain to keep your yard green, it would be brown from July to the next April. With watering, my yard is still green. Also, foundation problems begin to appear when a yard is not watered, and that is costly.

However, because of all the rain we had THIS year, I only started watering about a month ago.

Gads. What kind of foundation problems? Living here in Panama, I had never heard of that.

I learn new things every day.

You got ‘our rain’ here in Ohio, especially southern Ohio where I live. I usually cut my grass twice a week in August.

I’ve cut my entire yard six times since May of this year.

I live in Texas, gulf coast; I quit watering my yard about 7 years ago. I turned it over to God; he’s doing a great job. Actually we “stress” water when it’s doesn’t rain for more than a month, I water once a week to supplement dew. St. Augustine and it’s not only alive but thriving.
