      I was watching very closely until you said sun drop. While active duty coast guard, I would order 40 cases of sun drop for a 40 day patrol. We broke them out for morale pizza nights. Very valuable commodity when there aren’t any Walmart’s in the middle of the Caribbean. Thanks Pete, for the video and a throwback memory of being underway. Keep the green tips flying.

    Your lawn, stripes and yard all look so beautiful. My husband has gone to be with the Lord a year ago now my son comes over now and then and helps me as much as possible. He put the lawn striper on the mower and boy does it make it look pretty. I need to stay active now that I am retired. Instead of a "sundrop" to relax though, I usually sit back with a cold cocktail after I am finished. I enjoy working outside. Should live in a warmer climate😌

    Pete I love you videos. I think it’s important to remember to tell people to measure the water they are applying. Your video you just put out on that back section may lead people to waste water. Also making sure people know that dormant turf is ok and bringing it in and out is hard on the turf. I think that video really might lead people astray as to why and really how to manage non irrigated turf. How to make decisions etc. Again love what you do! Thank you for it. I have learned so much and have the best yard on the block thanks to you.

    Mowing cool season turf tall is the way. Most folks just won't do it. We're in a drought and it really shows when my lawn is the only one on the block with decent color. I don't know why people need short turf, it looks terrible in the summer. The maintenance required to keep short turf green is too much for the average homeowner, which is pretty obvious as I don't see too many green lawns right now.

    In regard to reducing mowing, what about the 1\3 rule? Im in vegas it was 109 and 9% humidity friday and the heat is just getting started. It irrigated. I been mowing 2x week. Went up to 3.5 2 weeks ago. Its growth is beginning to slow. After about a week it overgrows the irrigation. If i let it go a week it will go past the 1\3 rule. Tall fescue.
