Study Notes
Watering Lawns
- Watering Needs: Most warm-season grasses need 1-1.5 inches of water weekly for good health.
- Watering Frequency: Frequency and duration may need adjustment based on specific conditions.
- Watering Time: Best time is early morning (5-9 am) to minimize evaporation and disease spread.
- Monitoring: Monitor lawns for signs of needing more water, such as footprints not springing back or a bluish-grey color. Footprints should spring back immediately. A blue-green haze can indicate that more water is needed.
- Climate Adjustment: Adjust watering practices based on seasonal changes, heat, humidity, and rainfall.
- Avoid Overwatering: Overwatering can lead to shallow roots, diseases, and unnecessary runoff.
- Deep Watering: Encourage deep root growth by watering deeply and infrequently (twice a week for 35-40 minutes).
