Last year at this time, we were under water. This year, I've found myself praying for rain. The couple of times that it has rained this week, I've been grateful.
I can never seem to remember when my watering days are, so -- as a consequence -- my landscape hasn't been watered much.
Not that I want to water every day... most of the advice I've heard is to water deeply, but infrequently. One arborist recommended I water the entire yard very deeply once a month during the three or four hottest, driest months of the year. But that was for trees.
For lawns, I've heard it's important to water deeply once a week so that the grass can be healthy, otherwise it will suffer in the fall and spring.
Ooops... so much for keeping my lawn healthy.
Not that I have much interest in a beautiful lawn -- for me, it's always been about the trees. But that's just me.
