There's been some excellent advice in this thread. I'll try some of the tips. I guess I'm still confused as to why the grass would start out like a golf course and then basically die in 3 weeks.
When it was super green, it was much cooler than it is now, usually 70 degrees as the high...then all of a sudden it started getting hot as hell here, 80s, 90s for about a month and that's when it started to brown. Is grass supposed to simply brown and die because of heat though? If so, why are all of the grasses in other neighborhoods doing great without even being watered? The professional that gave me the materials for my yard said this grass was supposed to stand the heat and drought very well, and the first time it got hot it turned brown. WTF???
This grass business is way too complicated!!!
My front yard is sod and it's still doing great. I watered the hell out of it last summer and kept it alive when we moved in. Then this past spring, we put a bunch of for-sod fertilizer stuff on it and it's the greenest in the neighborhood now and we don't even water it. UGH!!!!!!
