Don't Let Your Lawn Turn Brown
August 17, 2011
With water conservation still being a major topic, many who want to help the environment limit the length of time the sprinklers run. However, it is important to keep a close watch on the results of this limited watering. If you have not converted your lawn to a Xeroscape, you will want to keep your grass healthy and green.
If you notice that your lawn is developing brown spots, check your sprinkler system. Maybe some of the sprinkler heads are broken. Sometimes they are twisted and miss certain areas. (I saw a rainbird nicely watering the street the other day.) During the month of August when we experience very hot and very dry weather, it might be necessary to increase the amount of time your sprinklers run.
Putting a weekly check, or perhaps a daily check, may be a good idea. Keeping your watering adequate but not excessive is probably a good way to conserve water.
