Of Society and Civilisation. Great part of that order which reigns among mankind is not the effect of government. It has its origin in the principles of society and the natural constitution of man. It existed prior to government, and would exist if the formality of government was abolished.
Run your sprinkler and see how long it takes to get a half inch of water in the can â just like a rain gauge. Usually itâs about 30 minutes. So 20 minutes, 3 times per week will get an inch of water on your lawn, and 30 minutes 3 times per week will get 1 Â½â down. Bear in mind that during extreme heat, you will need to water more, due to evaporation and heat stress on the grass. Water deeply 2-3 times per week, rather than daily.
For most grasses, you will need to give them between 1 and 2 inches of water each week, according to Sunset magazine. This water should be given all at once to encourage the roots to grow deeply. For instance, if your oscillating sprinkler puts out 1 inch of water in an hour, water your lawn once a week for one hour. Test the soil with a soil sampling tube or probe to see if it is moistened 1 to 2 inches down after your initial watering.
