The only reason I don't think it's over watering is because the soil seems dry. It's not like saturated or super soft or anything. But I'm not a Horticulturist so what the hell do I know?
I do get some clover and weeds, especially along my arborvitaes because there is not fence there and my neighbor neglects the shit out of her yard. Part of the bush removal project is because I'm having a nice white privacy fence installed behind the Arborviates and along the back where the chain link is now.
In any event, maybe I'll try kicking it down to every other day and see what happens.
