For this growth stage, look for a balanced, organic fertilizer suitable for our area to promote even growth. Now is the time to water deeply to encourage deep root growth. Aerating your lawn can improve root growth.
Orange County has predominantly heavy clay soils that absorb water at a slower rate.
To get the deep water penetration, try watering for short periods twice or even three times in one day at least an hour apart. This watering pattern produces better root growth than watering a little every day. Water your lawn only when it needs it. If it stays flat, fetch the sprinkler. Most homes will need to water their lawns two times per week, approximately nine minutes per day.
