Default Lawn Water practices advise.

My Massey Lawn Service guy came last week and deliver my report to the front door after his service. He had come to the door to introduce himself and tell me what he was going to do that day. I only mentioned that the rear of the property had may weeds and the lawn was very yellow. He said he was going to fertilizer this time and I should water soon afterwards.

His report tells me I have Improper Water Practices, Not Oftern Enough. He says my lawn is dry and will die if I don't water more often.

My question is, I have set my irrigation system to comply with the county request of watering only one day a week, Wednesday night. So do I cheat and water anyway, at night so people will not see me doing it, or do I continue to be a good neighbor and only water as directed by government?

Your thoughts and opinions are welcome.
