Watering periods vary according to the season. In spring and fall, it is best to water in the morning to avoid the inconvenience of cool nights. In summer, it is better to water in the evening to avoid evaporation of water due to the sun.
This work requires good time management. You need to water at the best time of day according to the outside temperature. In case of a long absence, your lawn may suffer from a lack of water or even burn out in the heat.Think of installing a timer to get a real automatic watering system. You won’t ever forget to water the garden or cut off the water from your underground watering. Timers do the job at any time of the day or night, even during holidays.
