Now that it seems to be heating up, here are two easy tips for watering your lawn.
- Water long and infrequently – Watering your lawn each day for a short duration will encourage plants, trees and grass to create shallow root systems. We’ve all seen that sidewalk which is uneven and lifted out of the ground because of a nearby tree?! Well, this is part of the reason. Instead of watering each day, water your yard a couple of days per week and for longer periods of time. This will encourage better root development and over-all healthier plants.
- Water Early In The Day – Watering early morning (not too early) will help reduce the growth of certain fungi and sun damage. It’s also typically less windy in the mornings, so you don’t have to worry about loosing half your sprinkler system to the street or passing cars!
Follow these simple steps, and you are bound to have a healthy lawn and yard this Summer! ….always remember, Life’s Better Outdoors!
