Trees stressed by dryness in Midland County, Michigan

Start Date: 9/19/2017 -  
More parts of the lawn have turned brown since my last report. We have not had to cut it for about 1.5 weeks. We had to dig a trench this weekend and it was very difficult even with machinery because the ground is very hard. The trench was 1-2 feet deep and the soil feels dry to the touch even that far down. The soil we moved was very dusty and blew around in the wind. I will need to water my outdoor plants. Some trees are showing signs of stress. CoCoRaHS Report from Station #Freeland 7.6 W on 9/19/2017
