    I'm not a green thumb by any means but I've recently started using Lesco fertilizer and live in Krugerville in an area that used to be a peanut farm. Needless to say the soil here is very sandy and We have the same issue under a tree in the front. I'm sure McKinney soil is probably pretty close. I actually started buying bags of organic compost and spreading it over the bare spots and watering it in. I keep a bag on hand as it slowly works its way in or runs off with water. It has worked wonders for the bare spots and helps to keep the soil moist and minimizes the water draining through the sandy soil. Its like 3$ a bag and can't hurt to give it a shot.

    Mckinney is currently on stage 3, water every other week. So any suggestions on what I can do on the cheap to get something growing?

    I'm reading this as in you can't do the bullet items between 10 - 6pm...no?
    First bullet point didn't carry over. They don't want you doing a damn thing, beyond watering once every 2 weeks.

    Rain from last night won't hurt.

    I just do lawns in those cities. I have taken care of an individual's course ( since we built it in 1999) here in glen Rose. I no longer do landscaping , just have a lawn mowing service doing 90 lawns per week ( my son and wife do the mowing )and I spray around 140 lawns and in my off time take care of the course

    That's just part of it.

    Under Stage 3 of the drought plan, residents and businesses can only use irrigation systems to water landscapes once per week if needed on the scheduled trash pick-up day. The watering schedules for commercial properties are determined by the residential trash zone where the property is located.

    The city maintains efforts to reduce water use year-round, and residents are urged to conserve water. While residents and businesses are allowed to water once weekly, they are encouraged not to water at all unless needed. Restrictions under Stage 3 include the following measures:

    • No watering with an irrigation system between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.

    Nope, not with the new adjustments.

    No watering with an irrigation system between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.
    • No use of water that allows runoff or other water waste
    • No landscape watering during any form of precipitation
    • No hydro seeding, hydro mulching or sprigging
    • 30-day exemptions for watering new turf are only allowed for new construction.
    • No turf watering with hand-held hoses, soaker hoses or drip irrigation systems
