Hate waste? You might water at night to dodge daytime evaporation. But when brown patches spread despite more water, Handybeeman reveals why it’s a mistake.
Why Night Watering Fails
Daytime sun zaps water—logical to switch to night, right? Wrong. Excess water sits all night, fueling fungal rot like brown patch. No sun, no evaporation—big trouble.
Best Time for Hot Weather
Skip peak heat—late morning to afternoon. Early morning’s ideal: water soaks in, roots drink, sun dries leftovers, dodging disease.
How Often to Water?
Sandy soil? Every 3 days. Clay? Weekly. Test it—dig after 15 minutes of sprinkling. Aim for 6 inches deep. New lawns might need two 15-30 minute sessions—let it soak between.
Cooler Weather Watering
Texas winters rarely need it—rain or dew suffices. If dry stretches hit, stick to early mornings.
When to Start in Spring?
Hold off ‘til it’s hot and dry—no rush if dew wets your fingers or rain’s steady. Early watering wastes effort.
