BHD WATERING IF"
LAWNS ROUS TIM
Gentle Soaking Spray Once a
Week Better Than Hap
hazard Wetting
Bad watering is the cause of almost
as many poor lawns as droughts, ac
cording to the lanscape gardener of
the Untied States Department of Agri
culture. Frequent watering of merely
Uie surface of the grass makes the
roots of the grass grow near the sur
face and these roots should be made
to grow down as deeply as possible in
order to secure a line lawn that will
resist the hottest weather of summer.
The best method of watering the
grass is to apply a spray for from six
to twelve hours, the stream being so
gentle that water will not collect in
sufficient quantities to run off. The
water will then sink down into the soil
and the roots will grow to a greater
depth. When this method is used the
lawn should not be watered oftener
than twice a week, and then the
ground should be soaked so that the
water penetrates for several inches be
neath the surface. As a general rule
watering once a week is sufficient to
keep a lawn in good condition.
The man who enjoys watering his
lawn in the evening for a half hour
after returning from work will prob
ably prefer this method to leaving the
stream on for a number of hours once
a week. If he will divide his lawn
area .in six parts and confine his at
tention to a different part each even
ing ho will obtain practically the same
results in the long run. Haphazard
watering every evening is not advis
able. He should be careful, also, to
use merely a gentle spray and not
continue watering to such an extent
that water runs off, as such water
does no good. In fact. It may do harm
for it may remove loose dirt from the
grass roots and expose them to
drought. The strong stream of a hose
should not be used, as it helps to ex
pose the roots unnecessarily.
Many people wonder why drought
dries up their lawns in July after they
have taken what they consider to be
good care of them. The combination
of hot winds and dry weather makes
July undoubtedly the hardest month
for lawns, and when the rodts of the
grass are encouraged to grow near the
surface by bad watering and the loose
dirt is also removed from them by a
hose of strong water power the results
are more disastrous then if the lawn
had been left alone.
