IRRIGATING A NEWLY SOWN LAWN |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Overview |
|
|
|
A number of factors influence the amount of water required in the early stages: |
|
|
- Weather
The hotter it is, the more frequently you need to irrigate.
- Position
Sunnier areas dry out more quickly and also need more frequent irrigation.
- Soil type
Sandy soil dries out quickly so needs more frequent irrigation. Clayey soil holds water and tends to be over irrigated (avoid puddles!)
|
|
A general recommendation (which should be manipulated according to the above) |
|
|
|
Irrigate twice a day: |
|
|
- In the early morning for approx. 10 minutes (4-6mm)
- At noon for approx. 6 minutes (2-3mm)
|
|
|
|
Look out for: |
|
|
- Puddles
To be avoided as they indicate saturation of the soil and no oxygen to the roots!
- Top 2cm must stay moist
Essential until the plant develops a root system.
