To clear up any confusion, I would set your irrigation program to run TWICE the ONE day a week that you water. For instance, you might have a 4:00 am start time followed by a 6:00 am start time. This allows you to get down the entire inch of water in a single day, AND by spreading out the application into two doses, you're going to prevent a lot of the run off you would have experienced if you would have attempted to put down the entire inch of water in one application.

This question may have been asked already, but I didn't see it. So what happens if some of those rain gauges show 1/4 inch while others in the same station show a 1/2 inch of water? Do you go by the low or high number or fraction?

Thanks for the tip. I have come to the habit of watering my front and back lawn every other day for weeks, for about 10 minutes in the evenings. And I don't get any good results back. I'm going to bump it up to one hour, for one time a week, as you suggested, and see if there's any difference. Appreciate it.

I bought the same water catchers and they are great. I get more water with the sprinkler over throw area the water hits but not enough where the water is close to the sprinkler itself. How can I get more water in that area?

You should ideally get head to head coverage with all of your sprinklers. If you’re noticing that’s not happening try adjusting/switching out existing heads.

In our subdivision (North DFW area) they installed drips under the sod for a few of my zones. How can I measure the output to know if I am under/over watering?

@LawnInsider 3 жыл бұрын

Oh wow, I didn’t realize they were installing irrigation systems like that. I honestly am not sure. Seems like it would almost have to be trial and error. Definitely seems more difficult to track your water usage that way.

@@LawnInsider Yes, I've never seen it done this way before. How do you water in the fertilizer if it sits on top of the grass and the water comes from under the sod?? Doesn't make much sense to me. Great job on the videos!! Lawn is lookin' awesome!
