Lawn up in Stead NV. God I curse that irrigation system. Its from like the 50's. No PVC all galvanized. Breaks constantly, but green none the less.

This lawn goes 2-3 in. a week even though its been in the 20's at night. Im amazed its not dormant yet.

Married Student Housing on campus. Its green to an extent, but Im having trouble finding something to kill the clover. Weed - b - Gone and trimec wouldn't even touch it.

The brown spot that randomly appears each week and gone the next. Plently of water. Its a ghost.

This lawn used to look horrible a few months ago. Last guy would use a rider mower on it. Compacted the #### out of the soil. Amazing what areating, a 16-8-8 fert. and 5 weeks of push mowing will do for a lawn. I didnt mow it for 3 weeks to let it come back. Supervisor didn't even notice... Thats sad.
Any comments?
