Irrigation Tip

As the days shorten and temperatures are cool, please consider reducing your irrigation use. The plants/turf are not growing as fast as they were and require less watering. Cool nights and warm days are the perfect environments for fungal growth. Excessive water will significantly add to this issue. It's best to reduce the zone run times by 30%-50% for the time being. Once temperatures are consistently lower than 60 degrees, it's best to shut the system down. New plantings, flowers, or ryegrass only require minimal watering. 

Have a good weekend!

Congrats to our Cornhole Champions (Brian and Will) and our 2nd place team (Roy and Guy)! What a fun weekend of cornhole. Keep an eye out for more tournaments soon.

Huge thank you to everyone who participated!
