Tip of the Week
When you water your lawn, water it only in the morning. The best time to water is between 6:00 and 9:00 am. Winds are usually low, temperatures are usually cool and the sun has not risen high enough to speed evaporation. Thus, the water percolates into the soil rather than evaporating (afternoon watering) or lying on the grass´ surface (evening watering). Evening watering on a regular basis is asking for trouble. Fungi thrive on cool temps and moisture.
