Want a broad expanse of grass move to the prairie. God the wasted resources on make-work projects you'd think you were all women.

^ & ^^ - this all TOO MULCH.:mad: There are way to conserve water.

I wondered about a maple in New Mexico too but honestly have no frame of reference for how they do in the heat. Assuming they have water it seems they are good to go.

I live on the Rio Grande river, so there's a relatively high water table. It's not like I'm living in the fucking Mojave or something.

Installed three new sprinkler zones, 7 heads, leveled with 20 tons of topsoil, scarified, slit seeded 200lbs of seed, fertilized and now am watering 3 times a day and patiently waiting for 25,000 sqft of new lawn that is actually made of grass and not weeds and dirt.

Germination! about 7 days in

Put down starter fertilizer and have been watering 3 times a day for 25 minutes per zone.

Looks like i have almost universal germination, a bit slower (1-2 days) in the shady areas.

Don't worry about the lines in the pic, that was an area right near the edge that wasnt crosshatch seeded that will be covered under a deck anyway.
