How should I water my lawn?

Soaker Hoses

If you can't use sprinklers (for whatever reason), use a soaker hose. A soaker hose is a section of specially constructed hose with small holes throughout the length. The end of the hose is closed off, forcing all of the water through the holes. The amount of water that these things can put out in a short period of time is amazing. They're great for small lawns and lawns planted in sandy soils where the water percolates in rapidly.
