I have 8 tuna cans in the garage that I use to test if I have any areas that do not get coverage

FL is different than places I have lived before. The sun is so hot that the plant dries in a matter of days. I think this is why BoSoxFan see better results.

I am not even close to an expert. My main goal is to balance the color of the grass and how much I have to pay 'the man' for the stinky water (south of 466). Last summer I barely had to water with the summer rains
