How do I correctly water my lawn? Great question!

In the Dayton, Cincinnati, and Columbus regions, The Organic Turf Company recommends that watering be done for about 15-20 minutes per area, in the cool of the morning, three days a week. In this way, your grass is provided the moisture it needs, without increased risk of lawn disease, and also avoids overwatering. This also provides your lawn with the proper amount of water, 1 to 1 ½ inches per week. Make sure to check for puddles or runoff, as these can be signs of overwatering. (more…)
