How should I water my lawn?

Answer 1

apply enough water to moisten the soil to a depth of 4-6 inches.this is roughly the equivalent to applying about an inch of water.the amout of water can be measured by placing a container within the area covered by your sprinkler. frequent watering leads to deterioration of the lawn because of shallow rooting which in turn allows for an increased chance of disease and insect damage.once a lawn becomes shallow-rooted the grass will also lower it's tolerance to heat and water stress. morning watering is preferred. this minimizes disease activity, since water remains on the leaf surface for only a short period of time. late day watreing permits water droplets to remain on the leaf surface for an extended period of time, thus increasing the potential for greater disease activity.

Answer 2

My mom in law is a landscaper so this comes straight from the expert ! Your lawn should be watered every single day. You can use oscillating sprinklers as they distribute water evenly or you can use a hose pipe and water all over yourself. Whether to use a pipe or a sprinkler depends on the size of the lawn too. If you have a tiny one then a hose pipe will just do fine.The best time to water your lawn is preferably early evening as the grass needs cooling after a whole day of sun ! In rains ofcourse you don't need to water your lawn at all, unless it doesn't rain for 4-5 days. Hope this is of help and you have a nice green lawn always.

Answer 3

I just planted a new lawn and did lots of research on the topic. This is what works:

New seeds should be kept moist constantly until they germinate. Depending on the seed, this may take up to 30 days. This means watering lightly 3-4 times daily.

After this, cut the watering to once daily until the lawn has been cut three times.

After this (and for mature lawns), if you do not get any rain, water once a week until an inch of water has been put down. If you're not sure how fast your sprinkler puts down an inch, use a coffee can and a ruler until an inch of water is in the can.

If it rains during the week you can water it that much less (fast moving thunderstorms put down little water, as the rain falls too fast and most of it runs off).

Answer 4

Water your lawn using a oscillating sprinkler. The sprinkler will allow you more control and even distribution of the water.

Answer 5

You should water deeply and infrequently. The goal for most lawns is 1" per week, and it is best if that is delivered "all at once" instead of over several days.

Answer 6

Wait until it rains, it's suppose to rain this week. And it's also winter right now so with all the snow melting, you shouldn't water it yourself. Let nature do the growing.

Answer 7

through a garden pipe.
