April showers were lacking this year and we ended the month about 2 inches below normal rainfall. Most lawns don't normally need supplemental watering during April or much of May. Without any rains recently, some lawns are teetering on the edge of showing drought symptoms. If you haven't started watering yet, it's time to pull out your sprinklers or turn on your irrigation controller!
There's no need to start automatically watering every day though. Usually we get enough rain and cooler temps through May that a good deep watering once a week is enough. Right now we're just looking to help Mother Nature with a little supplemental watering until we get a good soaking rain.
If you have any questions about the right amount of water, give us a call at Weed Man - 888-342-9333.
