Watering times?
So how long should you water each zone during the summer months? Grass and Plants. Can't seem to find the right answer. I am guessing that the Summer will require longer watering periods. Anyone know what is correct?
Thanks |
Depends on grass type, rain fall, soil conditions, etc... most plants/beds can flourish with much less watering.
Sprinkler head type also plays a role. The answer to your question can change weekly. Longer watering periods but less often promotes deeper root growth. |

Let me clarify that it is a new home in Collier with standard builder plants and grass. The soil is very sandy. |
Get in touch with either Chip Parrish (352-516-2281) or Jim Baumgartner (352-504-2317). They can give you the best advice.

GPH will vary with the size of the nozzle in the sprinkler head.
Put out some shallow cans (tuna can size) around each zone. Adjust the time so 3/4"-1" is put out with each watering. A time that works for your system, may not be the same as your neighbor. |

Rotors run longer than sprays as they put out less water per minute...It really takes about twice per week in the hot summer unless there are thunderstorms. |
I sent you a private message.
