Comments (17)I thought so too. Love the look and feel. Then I bought a sofa covered in it. pilling like no tomorrow, within 18 months, you could see fabric pile gone and texture appears threadbare between the pilling. The couch looks 12 years old after 2 years. My wife and I live alone , no kids to mess with the furniture. I called Pottery Barn and received a "virtual shrug" in response to my complaint. NEVER AGAIN. I have spent over 12000 with these clowns and that is the best they can do? Makes my blood boil when I think about it....See MoreHow often and for how long to water?
Comments (8)This is what I've been saying on this forum for 15 years. Watering: Deep and infrequent is the mantra for watering. This is for all turf grass all over the place. Deep means 1 inch all at one time. Put some cat food or tuna cans around the yard, and time how long it takes your sprinkler(s) to fill all the cans. Memorize that time. That will be the time you water from now on. My hose, oscillator sprinkler (full sweep) and water pressure takes 8 full hours to fill the cans. Your time will likely be less. I like gentle watering. As for watering frequency, that depends on the daytime air temperature. With temps in the 90s, deep water once per week. With temps in the 80s, deep water once every 2 weeks. With temps in the 70s, deep water once every 3 weeks. With temps below 70, deep water once a month. Note that you have to keep up with quickly changing temps in the spring and fall. This deep and infrequent schedule works in Phoenix and for the most part, in Vermont, so it should work for you. The reason for deep and infrequent is to grow deeper, more drought resistant roots and to allow the soil to dry completely at the surface for several days before watering again. If it rains, reset your calendar to account for the rainfall. So that's what I've been saying. The idea of this schedule is to keep the grass green and not allow it to go dormant in the summer. Here is a picture of some Kentucky bluegrass lawns in eastern Pennsylvania photographed in July many years ago. All four lots have the same grass. The owner of the green lawn is one of the gurus on another lawn care forum. He has asked around and watched what his neighbors do as far as fertilizing, mowing, and watering. He says the main difference is that the other lawn owners water every day in the morning while he waters only once per week. I can tell you the same picture could be bermuda grass watered daily versus once per week. Deep and infrequent is the mantra for a reason....See More- 10 years agolast modified: 10 years ago
