Nope. I'm very careful and follow recommendations from the
manufacturers. I keep it at 2" year round. Also our property has one
stream under it and the lack of water would only be a problem is we
didn't have rain for more than a month IMO. The heavy dews we have in
the morning are amazing. I have to leep the areas in shade mowed short
or they'll never dry out.

Dew will not irrigate turfgrass very much, it will add a bit of nitrogen
tho.

Interesting. I wasn't aware of that. Can you give me some more details
? Also, while the 2" mowing height is somewhat minimal, I do generally
allow it to grow for at least 1 week between mowings. 8" is max height
though. I really prefer it to be around 3" however I assume that the
taller grass provides shade and traps moisture better.
