A few months ago, I found ALL of the settings on my Hunter controller had changed to 2 or 3 times LONGER than previously set. I thought I had a leak, grass in this area was dying from too much water. Fixed the problem and now the lawn is coming back nicely.
I use Dean's who test the lawn but either tell me I'm watering to much or too little. Can't find that Goldielocks combo.

I wish the Villages would publish what and when they use. Their grass always looks better than mine.
