the heat index this year is higher than the last so he has to run irrigation more than he
did last year, there may be higher water costs and that is the reason for it. Frank

Armando will address that issue. He suggested doing another soil sample prior to
planting anything else in the roundabout to determine the viability of what type of
plants to use.
