Is my aquifer the only one dropping? Short term (my lifetime) irragation sounds good. But do I really need to water the grass now knowing when my grandchildren need the water it won't be there. Do you really think oil is going to be reason for world conflict?? Stolen fron here...

2 gallon ice cream buckets, old basketballs cut in half, old tractor tubes cut into squares, in addition to the other suggestions. I angle cut mine to the south and use roofing tar.

Better watch out or they'll get as fat as duns pigs on that worthless fescue. When did you top dress? Do you feel you get a bigger bang for the buck fertilizing your fall growth as opposed to spring?

And poke every pasture needs a little poke. For fall color and all. GMN I've had real good luck with Kenland. Kenstar is supposed to be as good or better, but have never tried it.
