- When and how much you need to water your lawn will depend on many things. For example, if you have very free draining soil you will need to water more frequently than if you have a clay type soil.
- The unpredictable UK weather will dictate when you need to water, although the most likely time will be during the hot summer months.
- When watering becomes necessary, it is best to water your lawn very heavily just once or twice per week. The early morning is the optimum time to carry out watering.
- Frequent light watering is not the answer as this will create perfect conditions for lawn diseases to thrive and will encourage shallow root growth, whereas once or twice a week saturation will help the roots to hunt for the water causing deep root growth.
- It is fully understandable if you decide not to water your lawn during dry periods. Your lawn will turn brown and go dormant until rain comes, but, in most cases, should recover without any problems. In some cases renovation might be necessary after a prolonged drought.
The lawn looks much better for its treatment. Thanks for a good job and well done
