WINNIPEG It s been a dry start to summer in Winnipeg, and front lawns are paying the price. Brittany Duszak waters her lawn every morning and every night. She and her partner bought their home last year, and initially, the backyard was just dirt and rocks. This summer, they decided to add some sod. We just put it in this weekend, and it actually came a little less green than we would have liked, Duszak said. In these dry conditions, homeowners are having a hard time keeping their grass green. Duszak said her sod has been turning brown despite her best efforts to keep it hydrated, and was expecting it to take a little better.
