Our Master Gardener columnist Laura Simpson answers your gardening questions.
Q: You mentioned watering deeply and infrequently in the newspaper. How many inches of water is appropriate for coastal OC lawns and how often?
Sandy, or quick-draining soil will need to be watered more frequently than heavy clay. High temperatures and low humidity conditions will call for more frequent watering. Grass cut at a higher setting will need less irrigation since the longer blades shade the ground and allow for better water penetration.
If your grass is thriving on 2 minutes per zone 4 times per week, try 2 ½ minutes per zone 3 times per week. Look at the overall health of your turf as well as weed growth. By adjusting the irrigation times and frequency gradually you should be able to find that ‘sweet spot’.
