Rain

We got 1.3" of rain last night.  It couldn't have come at a better time.  We were set up to flush greens through the irrigation system, but mother nature did it for us with clean water.  I sprayed a combination of wetting agents and a soil stripper in the morning in preparation for the flush last night.  The greens were about 3-4 days overdue for a flush but with the hot nighttime temps I had to keep pushing it back.  It's best to do it when the nighttime temps are a little cooler - the water tends to push that cool air through the root system bringing in oxygen and flushing out sodium.
