What is the best time to water the lawn?

Question

Should I get concerned about the heat as well? Will it affect the lawn anyway?

Answer 1

its best to water the plants in the evening as during the day if its hot then the water gets evaporated so its of no use then say late in the evening

Answer 2

dawn or dusk

if you do it during the day it could evaporate

or heat up so much if its hot that it damages the grass never do it during the day

Answer 3

The rule of thumb is always water BEFORE 10:00 AM....giving the lawn a chance to soak up a good drink before the sun is too hot ....The other reason for watering in The AM is to allow your lawn to dry out thus not making it prone to diseases or fungi.

The pros always suggest early morning to keep you lawn in good shape.

Best time to water your lawn

If you have an automatic sprinkler system, the best time of day to water your lawn is very early in the morning, right about when the sun comes up.

Always try to water your lawn in the early morning. By early morning, I'm referring to around 5 a.m.! This is the BEST time for watering, bar none. Early morning watering is best due to: the lack of evaporation that takes place, low winds that can blow you lawn dry, high humidity and morning dew that adds to the moisture. Early morning watering helps to prevent lawn diseases that can be caused by watering at night because it gives your lawn time to dry by night fall.

Answer 4

Now see, I had always heard the best time to water is in the early morning. That way the lawn has time to absorb before the heat of the day, but it doesn't sit on your grass all night and maybe cause rot.

Answer 5

Early in the morning or late in the evening.  If you water during the day, the water will evaporate before it has a chance to absorb.

Answer 6

The best time to water is during the evening. The soil then has a chance to absorb the water before it evaporates in the heat.

Answer 7

I prefer to water/soak in the morning if the temp. is dropping at night. Lawns can get moldy.
