Avoid watering in the middle of the day

Tip Type

Avoid watering in the middle of the day. Watering in the morning allows for the water to be absorbed before evaporating in midday heat. If using sprinklers, use larger drops close to the ground. The water in misters can evaporate quickly. Watering too heavily or too often weakens your lawn and causes erosion and runoff pollution.
