Winter watering schedule?
I have a home in Lake Denham, St. Augustine grass. I am part time so I try to keep an eye with my cameras and I have a Rachio.
Last winter my lawn was turning yellow while my neighbor's was fine. I was not watering enough. I upped it to 3X per week. I think this was probably closer to February when I realized I had a problem.
Anyhow I saw someone post on FB that we should only water 1X per week this time of year. I'm confused. Since it's very cold should I water less? Will it turn yellow anyhow?
My Rachio wants to do rain skips all the time and I don't let it. I've tried a weather station 1.8 miles from me, as well as the Rachio weather. Both want to skip watering all the time even though I see no rain for the entire week before or after.
