I know about that burning up yards. Last two months bills in chamberlain for water/elect/sewer were $193 and $242. A bunch of that was water on the lawn...Doh! Landlord had kentucky bluegrass and no shade for most of it. Makes it tough on that grass. I did a good job of keeping the watering inexpensive. I used soaker hoses. Had four of them set up with a split and timer. Nice little timer worked off the water flow. Would let it soak slowly for about two hours. And on the north side where I had Cypress; The grass watering took care of the trees. Had to have them trees to block the northern storms during winter. It also trained the grass to grow deep roots. It worked out good. Was a hassle. And still spent a bunch on water. It was just one more reason to move....here I only pay electric and am averaging a dollar a day...hehee Been looking at things in the market. I gotta admit. If I go long...it will only be a day trade. Things don't look good short term to me. I need to find out if Brown carries any mutual funds that short the indices. I need to start making more money here.... Oh Dealer... The landlord wanted to plant the grass in September. I don't know why? I can only guess that the idea is to get it started, put it to sleep for winter, then it rearing to go first thing in spring? I only got here in August. Planted the last day of August. I'm hoping it will grow enough to get well established before winter. Then will do real good once spring comes? Other than that....nobody worries about trying to grow grass during winter here....too cold... BirdDog@Prairie.com
