There is a lot of misinformation out there regarding the best way to water your lawn. According to several turf science studies watering deep and less frequently is the best way to water in the summer. By soaking your lawn and letting the water penetrate down to the root zone you will achieve the best possible outcome.

Great video! I’m actually filming one on using the manual method of watering with oscillating sprinklers and B-Hyve timers. For me, using an oscillating sprinkler it takes 1.25 hours to get .5”. Great video!

So true. Neighbors around me do the same thing, water everyday for 10-15 minutes. To each there own, but I agree with watering deeply 2-3 times a week. Great vid man

Your neighbor might be talking about syringing. It is something golf courses do to lower the temperature of the soil during really hot days. Not meant as a substitute for watering deep and infrequent, but rather an additional thing you can do to get through heat stress.

Get info totally agree. Roots are going to go find water, keeper they go better off we all are. I'd also speculate a constant cap of thin water is poor for oxygen movement.

It's not PSI alone. Gallons Per Minute (VOLUME) plays into it as well. Impact heads connected on the same feed is limited based on PSI and GPM as the water out of each head is reduced and can inhibit the impact head from properly functioning mechanically. A work around is setting them up to operate in a 360 degree pattern. The maximum number of impact heads will be around 2 to 3 on a connected hose configuration. Basically, impact heads would be set out in a quasi-zone configuration.

@Tundra_Guy Жыл бұрын

Here's the issue with your reasoning. In the summer, roots aren't as long as they are in the Spring and Fall for cool season grasses. If you water deep and infrequent in the hottest part of the summer, water will go below the root zone and will be deemed useless for the short roots. Roots will not go deep looking for water in the summer. Many studies out there proving this. You're better off with less water more frequently in the hottest part of the summer. You can/should go back to deep and infrequent at the right times (Spring and Fall).

@TurfCulture Жыл бұрын

I’m sorry but that’s incorrect. You need to water deep and infrequent, especially during peak summer stress. The issue with watering lightly is you are only getting the grass blades wet and the irrigation doesn’t even get to the soil, this is a great way to encourage fungal pressure in the heat and humidity. Irrigating up to an inch or inch and a half in the summer is the perfect depth for root absorption. I’d love to see the university studies to support your hypothesis.

@Tundra_Guy Жыл бұрын

@Turf Culture No, it's you that's actually mis-inforned. Grasses want to go dormant in the summer, not grow their root depth. Deep and infrequent watering at this time sends water way below the root zone, rendering it useless. Roots aren't actively growing then and won't get to the water below. Educate yourself before giving out bad advice.

@Piccolo_Re Жыл бұрын

That depends on your soil type. If you have sandy soil then watering deeply is worthless, but if you have hard, clay soil, watering deeply is the right thing to do.

35 minutes equals 1/2 inch then 70 minutes equal 1 inch which is 10 min per day for the week🤦🏽‍♂️.

@TurfCulture 3 күн бұрын

There is a huge difference between watering 10 minutes per day and 35 minutes twice per week. When you water for 10 minutes you are not putting enough water out to property moisturize the soil. Deep and infrequent waterings, 35-40 minute watering cycles allows the irrigation to penetrate deeper and then properly dry out over the following days. Watering for 10 minutes at a time simply wets the grass blades and nothing else.

Look, it easy. Just water up to a half inch and you're good to go. It ain't rocket science and I didn't need a ten minute video.

What if you need to determine how long it takes for your sprinkler to apply a half inch of water? Isn’t there a process for that? Glad I could help and thanks for watching!
