*Irrigation is not usually required in winter months because rainfall
provides sufficient water. |
- Divide the recommended number by the number of times a week you
are watering.
- Warm season grasses have extensive root systems that penetrate
deep into the soil and require deep and infrequent watering. Water
as few times a week as necessary to fulfill your weekly water requirements
without causing excessive runoff. Usually 1 or 2 times a week is
sufficient.
- Be sure to monitor your sprinkler system to
make sure you are getting uniform coverage. Repair and replace broken
sprinklers as necessary.
