For the last 15 to 17 years the problems with humidity and or heavier
rains has really gotten to a couple areas of the yard.
The soil has been damp to wet for the last 2 -2/12 months under a large
oak that still gets plenty of sunshine.
I have seeded with about every kind of grass I can find. This last
winter I used the new fescue(I can't remember the name) and tall fescue.
I had kuxurant growth until the "wet" season hit in May. The grass is
thinning out very badly. I try to wait til the ground has been dry for
at least 2 days before mowing. This has been very had lately making me
cancel fishing trips and other neccessary chores to get to the grass
before it rains again.
The temps have been averagingin the mid eighties to low eighties and
even mid seventies when it rains.
Any clues what to plant or to do to the soil? It is on a slight incline
in front of the house and quite a bit of water flows that way when it
rains. I have been thinking of reapplying fertilizer since the water
must be washing it off but the ground is just so wet.
In about 3 weeks we may have three weeks of 95-98 degree weather and
that hursts the grass also. I cut it about 4 1/2 inches high.
