No shite - because we had one of the driest June on record but that doesn't mean it has to rain enough to catch up to your yearly avg for your grass to grow

You take an inch from August and put it June 15th and your grass is fine or if we had gotten 2in in Feb - again your grass would be better
Even with the lack of rain - if we would of had avg temps if wouldn't of been as bad

my whole point is we don't 50+ in of rain for anything so why are you worried being 16in under your yearly avg

But you can't do that...that's the problem. When you get 6+" of rain in a short period, the ground can only hold so much of that, then it starts to run off.

So again, it's not just about the average. It's how you get to it that matters.
