My family and I don’t live in a neighborhood. We live on six acres tucked between two large land owners. So, I have never fallen victim to turf envy. You know—that burning desire for your lawn to be as lush and green as your neighbor’s.
At my house, turf exists for children and puppies to play on and to connect the flower beds. I can’t say that we have ever watered the grass at our house in the 16 years my husband and I have been married.
But that’s about to change. We have had so little rainfall since the first of the year that our zoysia lawn is turning brown and sounds crispy to walk on.
This Alabama publication has some good tips on watering your lawn as does this site from Missouri Extension.
On this week’s Backyard Wisdom, Alabama Extension’s turf expert Dr. David Han is going to share some advice on effectively watering your lawn.
