There were few changes in the drought depiction, despite some light to moderately heavy precipitation late in the monitoring period. By November 19, Kansas led the High Plains with topsoil moisture rated 68% very short to short, followed by Colorado at 64% and Nebraska at 55%.

This excluder is designed for sealing the window and door gaps around the frame, rather than the gap beneath the door. Made from PVC it is flexible and easy to cut to shape – you get it in three lengths up to 25m, this description is for the 10m length – and is fits by an adhesive as is the norm with this sort of product.

Prepare the lawn by loosening the ground approx. 20 cm deep and removing stones and weeds. Then work in an organic, slow-release fertiliser, such as our all natural Plantura Lawn Feed. You can use our Plantura Organic Lawn Compost or mature compost to improve poorer quality soils. Lawn seed manufacturers use the term “drought-resistant grass” when talking about drought-tolerant grass seed mixtures for green lawns. People in areas with low rainfall and hot summers are highly encouraged to maintain drought-resistant lawns. You are also better off using drought-resistant grass seed rather than conventional lawn seed mixtures when establishing a lawn in places with light, sandy soils that retain water poorly. If you live in such areas and want an enduring, sustainable garden, it is a good idea to plant a drought-resistant grass lawn.Made from eco-friendly PVC and with ridges for grip, this excluder it is intended to provide a solid seal between the door and the ground thus keeping not only draughts but rainwater at bay. It’s easy to cut to size, and is rather expensive when compared to others, so we need to know if it does the job. Expert note: Do not confuse drought-resistant grass with dry grasslands, the latter of which are grassland biotopes that develop on extremely dry, nutrient-poor and sun-exposed areas. Dry grasslands are home to not only grasses, but also to special plants, like thrift ( Armeria maritima) and adapted animals, like the pantaloon bee ( Dasypoda). The terms “rough grassland” and “semi-arid grassland” are sometimes used synonymously with dry grasslands, but this can also be misleading, as they actually each refer to different biotopes with a specific fauna and flora. Areas of rough grassland develop on water-rich, very nutrient-poor areas, while semi-arid grassland areas develop on extensively managed pastures. What are the advantages of drought-resistant grasses? Tip: Only mow your new drought-resistant grass for the first time once it reaches a height of six to 10 cm, but do not cut it any shorter than four centimetres. Before doing this, make sure the blades of your mower are sharp, as dull blades can easily uproot the young seedlings. Find detailed instructions on how to lay a lawn in our article on sowing lawns. How to care for a drought-resistant lawn

On top of that, drought-tolerant grass can thrive on soils that are otherwise unable to support a normal lawn at all, as well as on parched soils that would require a lot of maintenance. Establishing a drought and heat-tolerant grass lawn therefore protects the environment and saves you the costly soil upkeep that a more sensitive standard lawn demands. Nevertheless, failing to properly maintain your lawn may mean you need to scarify the lawn or aerate the lawn. This may also be necessary if your soil is rich in clay. After heavy frosts or scorching summers, the lawn may thin out and become sparse, lose its regenerative capacity and not grow quite as fast. In this case, reseeding the lawn is your best bet for restoring it. On St. Croix, rainfall totals for October ranged from 4.59 inches to 9.74 inches, and thus far in November ranged from 2.62 to 6.61 inches. With a wet October and wet early start to November, the status on St. Croix was improved to D1-L in spite of subnormal rainfall this week. Long-term severe drought (D2-L) continued on St. Thomas, while St. John continued with a D-Nothing status (no drought or abnormal dryness).

When mowing the lawn, remember that a drought-resistant lawn should never be too short – four centimetres is about as short as you should go. Fertilise the lawn in spring and in summer with a nitrogen-rich, organic lawn fertiliser, such as our Plantura Lawn Feed. This promotes the grass’ growth and can also boost the quality of the soil. In the autumn, drought-tolerant lawns and soil like a bit of potassium-enriched autumn lawn fertiliser, such as our Plantura Autumn Lawn Feed. Thanks to its increased potassium content, this autumn fertiliser improves frost hardiness. Regularly mowing and using an organic fertiliser help to prevent the formation of lawn thatch, the invasion of lawn moss, weeds in the lawn, and keep the soil aerated. After sowing, pat the seeds down or cover with max. 0.5 cm of lawn soil, such as our Plantura Organic Lawn Compost, and then press down with a lawn roller.
