How to water lawn during Drought, watering tips

[@raventhedoggie]

I was using the one that pulsates around but I have this one also. This one works great.

[@georgewillingham3687]

I really enjoy your comments and suggestions. Great job.

[@thojo1980]

Enjoying your videos. Over in Jefferson, GA. Keep up the good work!

I bought a 50 ft soaker hose 2 weeks ago and so far I like it. You can turn it on and walk away for an hour and come back and have no runoff and the area is water deeply. Plus you use less water.I heard they are great for vegatable gardening too

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

Randy Man that’s a good idea 💡 Randy 👍🏾

[@randyman8984]

I got mine for under $20

[@randyman8984]

BYD, Are you getting alot of rain too ??We in north georgia have gotten 24 straight hours of a consistant slow rain

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

Randy Man none stop 🛑, are you folks me on Instagram also?

It's very hard for my grass to get shade at all it in sun from 6:00am in the morning to 6:30 in the pm 😟😟 so it's vary hard to water in the morning I will have to get up at 4:30 in the morning just to water before it gets very hot at here in ca...and that in the summer

[@jaywax]

It's serious here in Texas bro. Hot as fish grease. Watering with sprinkler system 30 minutes per zone twice a week. I used lesco and milargonite earlier in season so my yard is holding up fine.

[@randyman8984]

we have got rain for 24 hours straight now..Whats good about this rainfall is most of the 24 hrs its been a soft rain.Maybe 1-2 hours where it came down a little harder.I cant do a screwdriver in most places in my lawn .Now I can easily lol

[@Xavier-be2mi]

I switch sprinklers from the style you have to ones that spins 360° and my grass turned on me like a cheating spouse. Tomorrow I will water with the style you have after work (Yeah I know I shouldn't, but no choice). About 50% of my backyard went into dormancy,30% is dark green, and 20% is light green going dormant. The rotating ones look cool, I don't feel the water coverage is worth it.

[@d.r49]

While filming this video where you watering in the morning or evening??

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

I wanna say it was around 10am

[@d.r49]

@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral thanks👍👌

[@LlyleHunter]

Have you ever had a traveling sprinkler? I've had two and they're really convienient.

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

Bruce Solomon no I haven’t tried that yet.

[@LlyleHunter]

They are really fun. When I was a kid we had a Melnor Roll-n-Reel that wound its own hose as it went along. Currently and for the last twenty five years I've had a Nelson RainTrain tractor. I'm searching through eBay and such looking for a National Walking Sprinkler because travelers need gear rebuilds every one in a while. The National which is the original traveler is available with all metal gearing and needs only grease occasionally. Revolving sprinklers cover quickly and very evenly.

[@LlyleHunter]

m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGfGf5JvoNZmmLM This is the National B3 which is available with metal mechanicals. Nobody makes these anymore but they were very convenient but not the best build quality. Fortunately back then as today, Melnor customer service was outstanding. I still buy their stuff. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ2Zhmiefpl0la8

BYD help! My Bermuda lawn started producing seed heads 2 days after mowing. Been doing it for about a month, I’m in Phoenix with 105-115 days temps now. Is my lawn stressed out? I mow every Saturday but by Monday I have seed heads on the whole lawn

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

xnivektonx no it’s not stressed, that’s a natural and healthy characteristic of Bermuda Grass. Unfortunately it’s unsightly. The only one thing I’d recommend is to increase cutting to twice a week but only mow high enough to cut seed heads off. Eventually it will stop, also make sure the blade is sharp on mower. Now you could do a growth regulator but with temps like that I’d hold off.

[@xnivektonx]

Bermuda Grass Central ok I thought it was stressed out. I’ll start cutting twice a week and see what happens. Thanks a lot and keep up the awesome work man! You’re helping alot of people out there!!

[@czrs85]

I have a system. Gets hot in AZ, only 108 today.

[@xnivektonx]

Im in Phoenix as well. Whats your watering schedule?

[@czrs85]

xnivektonx three times a week, 9 minutes per zone , three times on the watering days.

[@xnivektonx]

Czr S I’m on 30min each zone. I’ll try to break it up into 3 times

[@czrs85]

xnivektonx way to much run off I bet. I only have 1400sqft of grass.

[@xnivektonx]

Czr S just bought my house and I’m new to this turf stuff. Still learning everyday, thanks

[@XxMissingDataxX]

BYD. My grass is not growing like it was during the may-June months I was cutting it twice a week. Now its less then that not sure why it’s not growing. I been having brown patches showing up in my lawn all over. I’m in Texas

[@XxMissingDataxX]

Need help. I got some new seed coming princess 77 but not sure if I should put it down

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

Marvin Jones it could be a number of things. Did you get soil test this year? Could be from lack of water 💦 in certain places in lawn. Maybe you cutting height is to low for conditions. If lawn is not growing cut back to once a week. Generally around August your Lawn will start to slow in growth. When was the last fertilizer app?

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

Marvin Jones as for the princess 77, I would have probably went with the same type grass seed that you have now. But if it’s hybrid Bermuda sod there are no such seeds. Which means if you over seed you’ll have two types of grasses growing together and there’s nothing wrong with that but the colors will probably be different. Princess 77 is more high maintenance than most so it will be a call you’ll have to make. Hopes this helps 👍🏾

[@XxMissingDataxX]

Bermuda Grass Central 4 months back I did a Milo app that’s pretty much it. No soil test

[@XxMissingDataxX]

Bermuda Grass Central I think I have a common Burmuda grass no hybrid

[@jgulley12]

Buy you an inground sprinkler head and set it up above ground it's a game changer.

[@ruskates5757]

Hi BYD. What the HOc on your lawn right now.?

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

1.6

[@ruskates5757]

@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral to keep it at 1.6 how often you mow ?

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

@@ruskates5757 twice a week but if you are going through a drought then once a week to start with.

[@beanna227]

What kind of hose nozzle is that?

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

Tina Forbes it’s a thumbs trigger, the new style, picked up at Walmart for about 10 bucks.

[@beanna227]

Thanks to your videos, my neighbor told her husband to get in the yard and get to work bcuz my yard is green and their's is brown. CRUSHING THY NEIGHBOR in TX!!!

What do you suggest on watering tall fescue

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

D .R same can be applied to that lawn that’s in this video

[@d.r49]

@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral 👌👍

[@d.r49]

I just had my sprinklers hooked up to a timer what time should I set it how many days should I water???

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

D .R watering will depend on you. If it’s raining 🌧 I’d suggest you don’t water at all. Once or twice a week should be sufficient. Water 💦 early morning hours so water can absorb then sunlight later will help it grow.

[@d.r49]
