102° and sizzling... It
is hot and our lawns are feeling the effects.... The most efficient
way to water a lawn is to apply water when the
lawn begins to show
signs
of
stress
from
lack
of water. Here is one technique to identify signs
or indications of water need: Footprinting: Walk
across your lawn late in the day and examine the lawn behind
you to see if
your steps left any "footprints." Your footprints will
appear in a lawn when the grass plants have low levels of water
in their tissues. When the grass blades are compressed by your
feet, the low water levels prevent the grass blades from springing
back up. If your footprints remain for an extended period of
time, the lawn should be watered to prevent the grass from becoming
dormant.
