What is the recommended amount of time to water a lawn? Every day? What if it's grass & flower beds?

Can you figure out a formula providing ideal watering time in relation to outside temprature and humidity AND the watering time of the day or night.





Thanks a lot.

it depends on the bylaws where you live for one .If the temperature is hot and you see that the soil and flower beds are dry , it is always best to water in the morning ,but if you work you might need to do this in the evening instead.
Reply:Hmmmmmmmmmm a formula. My formula for maintainance of my lawn to equal that of court number one at wimbeldon,London. Feed it well, treat it with tenderness, and repair any worn patches. As for watering........always water early in the morning, and as for "how Much" you cannot overwater grass............
Reply:You need to water your lawn in the morning. This way the water can drain down to the roots of the the grass before the sun comes up to evaporate it. A lawn should have


1" to 1 1/2" a week. Take into consideration the rain. More rain, less you water. It is better to water once or twice a week to saturate the grass roots. Good Luck.
