It has been a couple of months now that these covers have been covering the seed and if you look at the first photo you can tell that we had pretty good success seeding this late in the year.

While we were checking out the progress we removed another cover and discovered that we have a serious problem if we want to be able to keep this particular area maintained. It happens to be located right in front of the over flow pond here on #11. The whole purpose of this pond is to catch storm water and slowly release it into the creek via a filtered pipe. Well the pipe is working but its to slow, so the rest of the water is spilling over the top on to the turf grass making its way to the creek in a vast area as seen in the next photo.

So what we did was install a gravel smile drain in front of the pond with a drain basin to catch any water in a hurry. This project will now keep this area dry.
