As can be seen from Decembers statistics, we have had another dry, warm month with less than average rainfall. Last Sunday brought us a very welcome and much needed 11mm of steady rainfall. This is only the second time since September 7th that we have received a rainfall event of more than 10mm. Our average for the period from September 1st through to the end of January is 254.5mm, and we are currently sitting at 110.5mm. That is only @43% of our average rainfall in what has been a unusually long dry spell for us here in the Adelaide hills.
I am in the process of preparing a detailed report that will provide further information for members about our current situation regarding the dryness of fairways, our irrigation procedures and the strategies we have in place to bounce back from these very trying conditions we are currently undergoing.
