Frugal Tip – Water Deeply Before Dawn
In the heat of summer, if there isn’t rain for a few days many people are watering their lawns with sprinklers to keep it from browning and dying. When we first bought our house, we didn’t know anything about keeping up landscaping, and when our lawn started looking like it needed help, we’d start watering it. During the day. Every day. In the full sun.
And – that was a big mistake. Watering in full sun just helped the sun scorch our lawn to bits. Our lawn did recover, but we wasted water and wasted money trying to do the right thing by our yard.
Watering deeply a few times a week, before the sun starts to heat up your lawn, is the best time and way to water. Watering deeply lets the water be really absorbed by the roots, instead of just evaporating off the surface. And even though you may be using more water at a time, you water less often. And by doing it before the lawn is hit by the sun lets that water really be utilized instead of just scorched off.
Water wisely and your wallet and yard will both be happy.
