How Much of that Water Are You Keeping?

How Much of that Water Are You Keeping?

So, it’s been raining a LOT this year in Colorado, enough to force the water authorities to pipe down for a while. It’s pretty hard to preach drought when you are getting a years worth of rain in 6 weeks. The water is still flowing in streams that are...
Operation September

Operation September

Every year I see people fall into the same tar trap. It is short term thinking and lack of follow through at it’s best, let me elaborate. People turn off their irrigation around mid October because their irrigation system will freeze this time of year (we have a...
Momentum of the Soil

3% Organic Matter and Overseeding

We have been discussing the roller coaster ride that most people are on, hurry up and green the lawn up, spend a lot on water, suffer summer heat, exhaustion, blowing out the irrigation, suffering winter kill and beginning the entire process all over again the...
It Looks Like a Cooler Year

It Looks Like a Cooler Year

I have a picture of my lawn last year that I took on April 1st. It was solid green, an  effect of the biology in my soil. I have another picture that I too this year on the same day. It took more than a week for the lawn to get to the same color where it was last...

I used to be a drug dealer

“Hey Brian, this sounds a little out of character of you”, I’m sure I will hear. Hold on until I finish the rest of the story because there is more to it. I’m actually an All-American kid, played football, Eagle Scout, served in the Air Force...
Social Shaming on Water, a New Low

Social Shaming on Water, a New Low

I’m sure that you have seen it recently, the articles in the media encouraging neighbors to rat on their neighbors for wasting water. I hate to use the word rat as they are pretty cool animals, so I will not depict them in a negative light but you get the...
“I Don’t Like That Natural Stuff”

“I Don’t Like That Natural Stuff”

I wanted to address a comment I recently received, not from a customer but from one of my own neighbors. One of my neighbors that lives down the street a few days ago stopped by while I was sprawled out on my lawn working on one of my new robotic mowers that I just...

“I don’t want a golf course”

I often hear this response when I start talking about correcting issues in my customers lawns: “I really don’t want it to look like a golf course.” In people’s minds they have built up that a golf course is the epitome of refinement, health and...

Biology wins, every time!

Biology wins, every time!

In the search for better lawns we have been taught to use the one thing that works very well but has a dark side. I am speaking about synthetics. They are just like steroids and methamphetamines. They work really well which is why people tend to use them but they have...
