Manually Watering Your Lawn

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

When you have a lawn that is equipped with an automatic sprinkler system, keeping your lawn watered will be as simple as checking on your sprinklers every once in a while to make sure they are running, and adjusting the schedule they are on if your lawn is starting to get dried out. Manually watering your lawn, on the other hand, is a little bit different - but as long as you make sure you take the right approach to watering your lawn manually, you should find that watering your lawn manually can be just as effective (if not nearly as easy!) as watering it automatically.

More important (and more difficult) than anything else when you are manually watering your lawn is actually remembering to water it on a daily basis; because of the fact that your lawn should be watered when the sun is not on it (either early in the morning or late in the evening), you will need to make sure you set aside a certain time of day during which you do your watering.

When you are setting up your sprinkler, it will be important that you make sure the areas of focus overlap a bit; this is another thing that is more difficult about watering manually, but it is also important, as it will ensure that you get full coverage on your lawn, getting all your grass fully watered and keeping all of it healthy.

Remembering to move the sprinkler is the final thing you will need to make sure you do when watering manually; it is easy to get distracted and to waste a lot of money leaving the sprinkler on one spot for hours, so either come up with a system to make sure you remember, or set an alarm that will remind you to move the sprinkler!

When you begin to manually water your lawn in this manner, you will be able to keep your lawn healthy without needing an automatic sprinkler system, and it might even give you a nice excuse for getting outside each day!
