Summer has finally arrived, the favorite season of all gardeners! Sometimes I wonder if winter will ever end, it always seems to drag on!
During hot days, you’ll need to take good care of your plants and save them from wilting. You know that temperatures have been rising dramatically over the past few years, so it’s important to protect your plants from sunburn because, trust me, they won’t easily fade away.
Now, the burning question of the day! Will your lawn sizzle if you water it in the sun? It’s time to solve this dilemma and find out!
Let’s get started!
Relax, Grass Won’t Get Sunburn During Watering
I must admit, I believed in this nonsense too until a few months ago, when I discovered the truth in a very funny way.
It all began when I was doing my favorite activity, which is giving my dogs a wash in the garden. It was a really hot day. After a few zoomies and playing with my pets, I realized that my grass was completely wet.
Panic started right away because I thought my lawn would burn immediately. My stress was on another level that day, and of course, nothing happened (I’m such a drama queen). There were no signs of burns!
There’s still one little catch!
While it won’t cause the grass to burn, it’s best not to water it when the sun is shining the brightest. If you water during extremely high temperatures, the grass won’t absorb the water. Instead, it will just evaporate. Then, it might seem like you didn’t do anything!
There’s actually a perfect time for watering the lawn. Find out when it is and you’ll be a step closer to becoming an expert gardener!
Here’s The Perfect Way To Do It
Watering your lawn early in the morning or late in the evening is a great choice. During these times, temperatures are lower, making it ideal for watering. Your lawn will have enough time to absorb the water it needs for a beautiful green look!
You should water at least once a week to avoid over-hydrating the grass. If you see on the forecast that rainy days are coming to your area, then there’s no need to water.
If you live in a place with really high temperatures, then sprinklers will be heroes for your lawn grass! They are the ideal solution if you’re not a morning person and tend to hit the snooze button on your alarm ten times in a row.
All you have to do is set them up and watch your grass get all the water it needs. Easy as pie, right? You would definitely give sprinklers a 10/10!
These Life Hacks Will Keep Your Lawn Grass Emerald Green All Summer Long
Here are some excellent tricks for your lawn grass. When you notice the grass has overgrown, start mowing. It’s best to do this twice a week. My friendly advice is to wear sunscreen and a hat while mowing. You don’t want to be the only one with sunburn, right?
Also, avoid parking cars on the lawn. This can ruin all the effort you’ve put into your beautiful grass because it will compact the soil.
Just like plants, your lawn also needs fertilizer. Use one that is rich in magnesium, potassium, and iron. Fertilize at the beginning of spring.
I almost forgot to mention that you can grow reed grass. This beautiful grass will make your lawn even more attractive and draw all the attention to your yard!
I hope you’re ready to give your lawn the best look yet! Mine has never been greener thanks to these amazing tricks!
The most important thing to know now is that the sun can’t burn your grass. So prepare yourself and get ready to transform your lawn into the most beautiful greenery display ever!
Until next time!
