Question:
Answers:
I water my lawn when its convenient for me, period!! That would usually be in the morning.
I used to be in turf maintenance and set most of my sprinkling systems up to run between 3:00am -7:30am.
yes
Watering early in the morning is better. Evening watering creates a very slug-friendly environment.
better off in the evening...sunlight will dry out the soil, water during the day...so early evening best time
It can be done both early morning or evening...preferably in the early morning when the temperature is at its coolest. IF you water at night, the water will disease the grass from TOO MUCH moisture.
will retain water longer if watered in late evening, sun will dry it out if wated in morning
evening is better.
Both are ok, if you do it in the morning you want to do it prior to the sun hitting it hard
evening, not only does the sun evaporate the water quicker, it could also cook the plants, at least thats what ive heard.
The early morning around 4-6am or so is about the best. If you can't water early morning it is normally recommended to water in the evening.
Here are the reasons why:
Morning and evening are better than during the middle of the day because it is cooler and the water won't get evaporated off. Also, during the middle of the day the water can act like a magnifying glass and actually cause the grass to get burnt.
Morning is better than evening because watering in evening is more prone to mold and mildew problems. It also makes you more prone to stuff like slugs I think. So basically you have a less chance of having disease problems with your lawn if you water in the morning than in the evening.
For morning, from what I've read it is best to not water after about 10am. For evening, I'd wait till about 6pm or thereafter so the suns intensity has gone down. From about 10am to about 3-4pm is the hot portion of the day.
evening
