When should I water?

When should you water and when can you water are two different questions. First you must follow your water management districts rules. Click here to learn a bit more about Water Restrictions.  Right now it is two times per week. Odd addresses are Wed and Sat. Even addresses are Thurs. and Sun. No more than 3/4 of an inch per watering.

Now if you are going to water Wednesday early morning. Then Tuesday in the late afternoon you should see a little stress in your turf or plant material. The leaves on the plants may droop a LITTLE bit. The sod should start to curl up like a straw and turn a LITTLE Greenish gray. Remember the word a little. If it is a lot you need to increase your run times. If there is NO stress you need to reduce the run times. Right now you will be increasing the run times until August /  September. Then you can begin to reduce the run times.

A few blogs ago we talked about how long to run a zone. No More than 1.5 hours on rotors and no more than 30 minutes on sprays.
