Sprinkler Time? Set Your Alarm...

We haven't seen any beneficial rain in over a week now, and I know a lot of folks have their backyards on life support with sprinklers running full boar. Believe it or not, there is a timeframe that is best to water your lawn. Set that alarm clock, because the best time is between 5am - 8am. The reason this works best is because evaporation rates are slowest during the early morning hours. The lack of evaporation is due to high levels of humidity, the frequent formation of morning dew, and fairly low wind speeds. This allows the ground plenty of time to soak up all of the moisture your sprinkler is spitting out.

Hopefully Mother Nature will be giving us a free lawn watering soon! -ADAM
