π Drought Stress? Here's How to Help Your Lawn Survive! π±
When rain is scarce and temperatures are high, your lawn can quickly become stressed. A few simple steps can help keep it healthy until better weather arrives:
β
Water Deeply, Not Daily β Aim for 1β1.5 inches of water per week. Deep watering encourages stronger root growth.
β
Water Early Morning β Water between 5 AM and 9 AM to reduce evaporation and allow moisture to soak in.
β
Raise Your Mowing Height β Taller grass shades the soil, helping it retain moisture and protecting roots from heat.
β
Leave Grass Clippings β Mulched clippings return valuable nutrients and help the soil hold moisture.
β
Limit Foot Traffic β Drought-stressed grass is more susceptible to damage. Try to avoid excessive walking or playing on dry areas.
β
Watch for Signs of Stress β Grayish-blue color, footprints that remain visible, and wilting blades are signs your lawn needs water.
Remember: A healthy lawn can go dormant during drought and recover when conditions improve. The key is protecting the roots and conserving moisture.
