(please note for deeper root watering is done one time days after 3 weeks of germination for 2-3 weeks only) switch back to 2 times normal watering. This is ideal way for root to grow deeper. Water throught 30 minutes before sun rise. In order to make the grass roots go deeper. When the sun is up watering can Evapourate the water with the plant getting is required supply. preferably half and hour before sun rise. Water 2 times as suggested below have done great benefit for us. Grass out here dies out or loses it color in summers due the followingĮxcessive watering at night time can lead to rotting the soil causing the grass to die. we have received expect advice for our farms and now things look good. I have been around this issue with lot of friends. If you didn’t get to the 6″ mark you’ll need to come back to that zone after your new zone starts running off. If you’ve got water run off problems you’ll want to only water until the water start running off, and then move to another zone. It’s important that when you’re watering that you don’t allow water to run off your lawn. If you can sink it easily about 6″ in the ground you’re there, otherwise you need to put a couple hundred more gallons of water on your bermuda grass. A quick test you can do to ensure you’ve watered to the right depth is to stick a screw driver into the ground. Like we said earlier this will encourage deep root growth which will protect it from the heat, cold, and the next drought. In general you’ll want to water to a depth of about 6″. Watering once a week isn’t sufficient if you’re not getting enough water down that one day a week. The deeper the roots the more likely you are to have a greener healthier lawn during the next drought. Watering bermuda grass once a week will force the roots of the grass to dig deeper as the water supply is dried up during the week.

If you want to give you grass an even better chance during the next drought than consider only watering once a week. It’s subtle but if you’re looking for it, you can easily spot a bermuda lawn in need of some moisture.īermuda grass is one of the more drought tolerate types of grass. Although when it’s thirsty it’s blades will bow a bit. Of coarse we’d all agree we’d like mother nature to take care of watering our bermuda grass, but it just doesn’t work out that way sometimes. Whether that comes from mother nature or an irrigation system is irrelevant. Keeping your lawn healthy and green requires some amount of water.
