watering question

[Doop]

We haven't had rain since for a very long time....early June I think? Now it's been over 100 for several days with no relief in sight. Aside from the obvious solution (move back north!) how often does one water and when?

[DinkADunk]

1" per week. Water early in the day (daybreak is good) and water deep (long and slow instead of short and shallow). Keep your grass fairly long (3").

Doop your way down there and here it hasent rained measurable since June 12th low to mid 90s all week HUMID,not as bad as you tho.I water once a week 1" especially my garden, the grass well no water no cut and I have more fishin time not cuttin grass.

If your lawn has gone dormant, I would just save your money and wait it out. If its still alive then you can make a difference.

I dind't know they had lawns in Texas. Why is a guy from Texas asking lawn questions on a Minnesota based fishing forum?

Tom7227,

There's nothing wrong with asking questions...I would take a guess and say that Doop used to live up here in the midwest. I dont see any harm in asking for other people's opinion!

Yes there's lawns in Texas!

I'm wondering what kinda turf is it? Bermuda, St Augustine, rye? Seems to me I'd ask around how to treat your species in your environs.

I believe if ya read it again nothing was mentioned about anykind of turf....Just watering
