One of the joys of owning your own
home is getting to sit back and admire that lovely emerald green stretch of
lawn in your front yard. Of course,
before you sit back and admire you have to bend over and use a little elbow
grease.
Some people work harder than they have to in
order to have a beautiful lawn. Grass
is pretty tough. If you give it the
right growing conditions your grass will defend itself from most weeds and
diseases. One of the main mistakes
people make is in when and how to water the lawn. Here are some watering tips that will help your lawn be strong
and healthy.
DO water every five to six days
during the warm season.
DO water early in the morning.
DO set sprinkler water spray close
to the ground, not in high arcs.
DO soak the area for 30 minutes to
1 hour.
DON'T water during the heat of the
day (you lose ⅓ of the
water to evaporation).
DON'T
over-water, as you will lose nutrients and encourage rot and disease.
DON'T
water too frequently, as it encourages shallow roots and weak grass.
DON'T water at night, as it encourages disease.
