| Description: |
Since my last report on Sept. 2 (following the longest spell of no rain of 8 days all summer), I have recorded 6.11 inches of rain. Lack of rain is now not the problem, but too much judging by what I am seeing and hearing.
Local landscapers have noted increased fungal growth in lawns and fungus is apparent in garden beds, provided ample moisture to grow on the mulch. But better a little too much than not enough. For those with rain sensors, irrigation systems have not been running as much. The community waters no matter what, but that is pulled from the lagoons and ultimately most returns to them. Others without sensors may be seen sprinkling in the rain, looking quite ridiculous. One can debate the nature of the lawns and gardens in our community, but there is no debate about wasteful use of the resources in cases like this. |
