Watering:
Get yourself a Rachio irrigation system. It’s smart, saves water, and JEA will give you $150 back (restrictions apply, of course—because, life).
Most lawn problems? Water-related. Too much or too little—it’s a thing. No one likes hearing that, but it’s still true.
Everything I say about watering is a general rule. I water 3x a week for 25 minutes per zone because my yard has clay soil and builder-grade compaction. Your lawn isn’t mine. What works for me might do absolutely nothing for you.
Water smart:
- Start around 5 AM
- Be done by 10 AM
- Never water at night
Midday watering = evaporation station. Night watering = fungus party. Neither is invited.
Be kind to your grass like the rest of us, it’s doing its best.
