How should you water grassy patches?

When it comes to watering grass, the cycle-and-soak method works out the best. In this system, you need to program three short cycles, with an hour’s gap in between each. During each cycle, make sure not to water the grass for more than four minutes. After watering, let the soil soak completely. Your objective is to prevent water runoffs and let the soil absorb the fluid.

How to adjust the sprinkler irrigation system?

One of the prime objectives of using a sprinkler irrigation system is to mitigate the wastage of water. With this mechanism, you should be targeting the plants’ roots. In some of the advanced systems, the tubing has drippers inserted into them automatically. This helps to evenly spray the water throughout the layer of the surface, which eventually soaks into the soil.

 Also, there might be a few sloping surfaces in your garden. The water tends to flow downhill in these areas. With the right pressure in the system, the plants on sloping surfaces would receive equal amounts of water. This would maintain the consistency in the vegetation in your garden.
