What kind of mower are you running?
I recently switched up to an old Craftsman (rebranded Mcclane) front thrower off of a guy on Craigslist to do my Bermuda. I love how low I can take it if I want to.
Only issue is that it gets up to 105 degrees Fahrenheit here so I have to be creative with my watering schedule.
Not yet. Money is more scarce now. I hope to get some. I forget which works best in real hot sunny weather. I could have used it already. We had 3 hail storms in a one week period. It got some young seedlings but they bounced back. I need to do more research. It’s not cheap.
Hit the lawn with water at like 4 or 5 am before the sun hits and starts evaporating the dew this gives the turf a couple hours to soak in before evaporation
Coming from almost a decade of turf care as an award winning fertilizer/herbicide tech if you have an irrigation system feel free to pm about optimum settings I’ve made many a lawn look like professional sports turf
3 hailstorms 
but my God the views there 
Applied my protazoa EWC tea this evening hoping for a rain! And built a compost heap that starting to cook it’s heating up here’s at about 10 hours cook time I imagine by morning it will be pushing 120
Did ya check out the hail netting in my thread perhaps 20x20 ‘ for 50$ better than what amazon had
Yum wonder what that would taste like as a simple substitute for my mojito mix?
I have to look better. I had the page open on the desktop. That 20x20 sounds very reasonable. I might look into that one.
I wonder what % would work best here? I’m at 6400’ elevation and the sun is intense. @ReikoX told me what was working for them so I need to ask him. His sun/heat is similar to here.
Here it is all stretched out the dimensions are 19’ wide but easily stretches past 20’
will section it up according to box dimensionsIt does provide a hint of shade as well
Awesome I appreciate that.
I have always done that same schedule for watering as well. Lately I have been experimenting with breaking it into a late night water and early morning water.
The problem is that it will still be 90+ degrees here still at PM so I am testing half of the water at 11:30 P.M. and the other half at 5:30 A.M.
I am close to having it dialed in but I still have a few dry patches that are on a slope and the water doesnt fully saturate the soil.
Nice that looks great.
I just need a 5x10 strip so that could be cut down for a couple of applications for me.
Like @GMan said, everywhere I looked was pretty pricey so that sounds like a deal.
If you water at night just give the turf a little time to come down in temp a couple hours after dark would be fine
Looks like ya would only need 5 linear feet then … if interested @Zenki @GMan pm me I’ll give ya the web address or contact number and see if they ship @Zenki you in the US?
Cool that would be awesome.
Yeah I am in the U.S. on the west coast.
@Tinytuttle, did that have a shade percentage rating for it? Or is it mostly just for hail? I need both really. Being at 6400’ elevation, this far south, I get some days the sun is just insanely intense. So far this year it’s been reasonable. The weather has only been to 90 once or twice so far and maybe beginning this coming week. I would take something for hail for sure, even over the shade. Both would be awesome.
This year I’ve been able to start seedlings outside right away so they’re toughened up good already this year. I have them at all ages now and I still need to do more. Last year the cold went up to about where we are now, so plants freaked out when put outside because the sun was so intense on those first warm days. Plants would just almost double over it was so bad. Things grew weird. Then I started a late batch and they all did just fine.
I have one in the dirt and getting ready to put another one in. The rest will get pots I think. It’s so dry here. I put my only outdoor SSDD in the ground about 4 days aga, and yesterday it was limp as hell. I freaked out and couldn’t imagine what would make it start dying that fast.
It looked like it was thirsty but I had really watered it hard that first two days. I decided on Litfa but by the end of the day I was thinking of digging it to see if moles had gotten to the roots… Finally, I decided to give it water and see if it could possibly be that… I didn’t think it was dry… But, an hour after watering I went back and it was looking fine, lol… I have know idea where all of that water went, heh. It’s going to be a job keeping things watered if this continues. Very dry and windy.
Netting is used mainly for hail I’d guess the shade it provides is 5%or less not much ,as for the watering in pots I’d have a hunch that you have dry pockets maybe where it may be trickling through quick always heavy mulch as well, if maybe try sinking the pots in the ground 1/2 way or better that way the earth can keep it cooler or covering them from the sun on plastic or fabric for that matter IMO gets way to hot for 10 gallon pots or less try yucca or aloe to help with water distribution when I suspect dry pots the whole damn pot gets dunked and submerge for a few minutes
We’ve had 90 degrees days now for a bit and the plants are scoffing at the heat water myself about every 2 days … keep them roots cool!
Here’s that place in FC That has the netting
Thanks. Now we’re getting rain every afternoon. 
Hopefully all will be good. I do try and use felt pots if I don’t sink it in a hole… Plastic is hard to keep cool.
The AC in my truck broke, I fixed it by spending 9 hours under it ripping the headers out and pulling the radiator cap off and backing a new truck under it and putting the headers on the new truck. I just spent an entire weekend painting a bumper cover and wheels for the dammed thing and started the loooooonnngggg process of paint perfection on a black car with chips all over it. Uggggg at least when that’s done it will look amazing and I can force the AC to work to sell it to a sucker lol
Idk if my trucks ac works the Windows do 
It’s a 94’ lol
I think it’s probably worth 4 times what I paid for it there starting to get collectable it’s not a z71 but a 4x4 short bed but with the bench no rear slider either kind of a odd optioned truck
