SESK: Stuff Everyone Should Know · sesk.info/watering-grass
What time of day is best to water your lawn during the summer?
Early morning, so water soaks in before the sun evaporates it.
- Early morning ✔
- High noon
- Late at night
Why: If you water at noon, the hot sun evaporates the water before the roots get it. If you water at night, the wet grass can grow fungus.
Huh, didn't know that: Grass needs about one inch of water per week to stay healthy during the summer.
What did the grass say to the water? I am rooting for you.
