Being dry for almost 6 weeks, we have really tried to limit our irrigation usage to help toughen up the grass. However, we do have to use it and over the course of 6-7 weeks of using just pond water, it can have negative effects on our soil and plants. You will see from our recent irrigation water test, we have problematic levels of Chloride and Bicarbonates. These lead to premature wilting and seal off the greens, effecting drainage and nutrient uptake. A nice natural rain will help flush all our soils and alleviate the problem.
