Hi all,

Here in the Pacific Northwest they're already predicting a drought for
this summer due to our lack of snow-pack in our mountains.

This brings up a question that I've thought of many times but never
asked.

In a drought situation is it better to cut one's grass short because
there's less of it to need the water or --- to leave it long on the
premise that the blades shadow the ground and, possibly, help to lessen
the evaporation ?

All the best,

Yes, cut it high for the reasons you mentioned..the shade also helps to
lower the soil temperature a bit too.
