It can prove a real headache, especially when the weather is warm, but knowing exactly how often to water the lawn in summer can be a real game changer.
Not only does it use up valuable water and inconvenience the family and neighbors, but watering the grass too regularly can actually cause long term damage. Encouraging grass to become lazy when seeking water, these plants happily develop shallow roots concentrating their efforts on growing lush leaves instead. Unfortunately, this can prove a problem in times of drought, when watering stops and natural sources are scarce, leading the lawn to brown and even die. Regular damp conditions can also promote disease and fungi.
