Thanks Kele.

I do think moisture is the key here. My summers are rainy and the soil is rich and moist but doesn't stay wet, and drains quickly. Since my problem showed up when the humidity levels went through the floor I assumed it was the dry air. The other part of that is that I think it rained twice in October and I was doing a lot of sprinkler watering. That low humidity really sucks the moisture out of the ground!
