June is a critical time for your lawn as it is in its active growth phase. The grass needs to form shoots and maintain the density of the grass stand. But the lawn faces many negative factors – such as the scorching sun, heated soil and drying out of its top layer. In addition, moisture evaporates much faster. For this reason, it is important to water the lawn correctly, as recalled by the expert of the Zen channel “GumiZel (GumiTsel) fertilizer, home, garden, vegetable garden.”
Rule #1: Water your lawn rarely but deeply.
With this regime, moisture will penetrate into the soil to a depth of 15-20 cm. The roots will begin to develop deeper, and the lawn will become resistant to drought and heat.
The mistake is to water the lawn every day, moistening only 2-3 cm of soil: in this case, the roots develop right at the surface, which often dries out.
Rule #2: Water early in the morning or late in the evening.
In this case, the water is guaranteed to reach the roots of the grass. If you water the lawn during the day in the heat, the moisture will quickly evaporate, and sudden temperature changes will be a stress factor for the plants.
By the way, you need to water the lawn in calm weather. The wind carries away some of the moisture and accelerates its evaporation.
Rule #3: Don't over-water the soil.
The soil should be moist, but not turn into a swamp. Under no circumstances should you water the lawn “in reserve,” otherwise the roots will begin to suffocate and weaken, fungal diseases will arise, and moss will appear.
