This makes some sense.
What I do not understand here in TV is the amount of water recommended to be put out. There is barely 2 inches of top soil and then sand from there on to China. The water will continue to run through the sand....how does this benefit the root system?
For the last two years as either fungus or the grass dies back for what ever reason, I remove the dead area and create another bed of one kind or another. I refuse to continue dumping $$$$$ to try to maintain a lush lawn in a non lush lawn encironment. There is no grass growing at the beach for a reason!!!
