I’ve recently taken self-tutoring about lawn watering. The tutor shares some discoveries.<\/h1>\n

On the west coast, summer is often very dry. Typically, if the lawn isn’t watered, it will go brown.<\/p>\n

Where I live, we have watering restrictions. On the days I’m allowed to water, it’s either 5-9am or 7-10pm. I looked up when is better. Condensed, here are the hints I found about watering the lawn:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Water in the morning before the heat of the day.<\/li>\n
  2. Use a pulsating sprinkler: the water spends less time in the air \u2192 less loss to evaporation. However, for new grass,
    \n use oscillating sprinkler \u2192 gentler on the budding seeds.<\/li>\n
  3. Water to soak 6 inches (15cm) deep.<\/li>\n
  4. Water no more than twice per week.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I don’t water every part of the lawn every time; sometimes I only water the weaker patches, maybe for twenty minutes each.<\/p>\n
