Over the next few days the golf course will be a little wet! With blow out of the irrigation system occurring on the 12th of November, we will not have access to large amounts of water for the course until March 2013 so let it fly. We want to load up the soil profile and southern exposures as best as we can this week. Only time will tell as the winter months set in if we will have to charge up our frost free system for winter watering. Not many folks know that watering in winter is just as important as in the summer. Desiccation over the winter especially on southern exposures is extremely hard on turf. We have to do our best to hydrate the crown of the turf plant throughout the winter by irrigation water or snow. Some of the driest places on earth are the north and south poles where they receive only a trace of precipitation a year! Most the snow and ice is millions of years old and since it is all frozen its not available to plants or animals.
Look at all that water!
If the polar caps were to melt, which hold over 70% of earths fresh water,
our oceans would rise global over 200 Feet!
Good thing we live in the Mile High city.
