Watering the Grass

[Jon Hirschman]

Is it better to water the grass a little bit more frequently or a lot at one time less often?

[Tom Jaszewski]

As deeply and infrequently as possible...

Acts of creation are ordinarily reserved for gods and poets. To plant a pine, one need only own a shovel.

-- Aldo Leopold

Deep watering is best.

[Stubby]

Ditto. I just heard it on the Paul Parent show this morning. Deep watering minimizes evaporation loss. It's best to have a grass with deep roots such as Tall Fescue. Black Beauty, Lofts Rebel II, etc.

We use a rain guage to monitor how much rain fall we got during the week and then make up the difference with a deep soaking on either Sat or Sunday.

Thought this might also be helpful ...
