These are the kind of things that go thru my mind while I’m working. And yes I know that watering turf is not really necessary now during the winter, but I believe that now is the time to decide on how to handle these things. How much water should I give my lawn weekly? All things considered, an average lawn will generally need from 1 to 1.5 inches of water a week under normal conditions, now this can come from irrigation or rain or a combination of both, your lawn won’t care. My other thought was, when is the best time to irrigate? In some circles this question can cause an argument. In my experience, it seems that early in the morning is the best time to water. If you water at night, the turf will stay wet for a long time, and this can invite disease to invade your lawn turf, so avoid this if possible. If you water during the day, the turf will dry quickly, but you lose most of your water thru evaporation, so overall early morning watering seems to work the best.
