Recovering from Lawn Whiplash?

Was your lawn doing well and turned brown 4 days later? It's easy to be lulled into believing your lawn is great during the moist period a while back. Then, we moved into 30 days with only .7" of rain, about 16% of the needed moisture.
Healthy grass with good roots will stand 7-10 days of dryness and then move into "Protective Dormancy" to conserve nutrtion and energy. Keep hope though, Dormant isn't Dead. Green wiil return when moisture and temp levels return to reasonable.
Until then- get watering! Never water allowing grass to be wet at night as Fungus may start causing additional damage. Aim for 1.5" week during July and August in 2-3 sessions weekly.
