Unsurprisingly, proper lawn irrigation is critical to ensuring healthy growth regardless of the season. However, not all watering is the same. There are rules we like to follow for spring and summer irrigation, including:
Watering early in the mornings 2-3 times a week for 45 minutes at a time.
Avoiding watering at the hottest or most humid times of day.
Keeping a consistent watering schedule.
Use Tuna Cans to Check if You’re Watering Correctly!
Pro tip! To get an idea of how long you should leave your sprinklers running, lay a few empty tuna cans on your lawn, run the sprinklers, and time how long it takes until there’s an inch of water in each can. By filling the tuna can entirely, your lawn will get sufficient moisture into the root.
