re: My grass will not survive on once a week watering right now

As expected the storms went to the East and then redeveloped. I got the wind and cooler temps, but no rain.

The weather forecasters suck.

I got the email also. My concern is where they say nothing will change with my current plan at this time. I am paying $56 a month for 300 mbps.

After watering my lawn a few days ago it looks worse than before. I have decided to stop watering my lawn and quit wasting money to do it.

How are you keeping up with watering? We are in the same area, and I’m not retired so it’s tough!

4wks no rain at my house, steady 100dg weather. About 35 drops today and likely mandatory water restrictions incoming.

Each morning around daylight my wife starts watering the garden while I water the plants. I water the lawn two days a week and I start at 5 AM. It takes about two hours to water the lawn. I am afraid of what the water bill will be this month. We did get a few drops of rain today.

I am at the point that the USA/Iran war will go the same route as the Russia/Ukraine war. It is bad to admit, but the only way this does not occur is the Dimocrats take over the White House and Congress. Trump will never withdraw and Iran will never quit fighting.

I have been looking for a small solar powered attic vent fan for my shed, but I have not found one yet. I don't have power at it and it gets hot in there.

NW Arkansas has started watering restrictions due to the drought.

Edit: I am debating to keep fighting a losing battle keeping my lawn alive or let it die. I have bermuda grass. I have put a lot of money and time into my lawn.

Will my lawn recover if I give up watering?

The ten day forecast in my area calls for 100 degree temp no rain in sight

Same thing is forecast here. I am now having to water some of my trees to keep them alive. When all of the weeds die around the tree it is very dry. It is a dust bowl around them. I have two tall oak trees that has been hit hard by storms, cold weather and hot weather. At 5 AM this morning it was 80 degrees.
