How Often Should You Water Your Lawn In Spring In Australia
Spring in Australia occurs from September to November. The spring season in Australia is characterised by sunny days and cool nights.
Due to the sunny weather during the day, you must water your lawn to supply the moisture needed to maintain a beautiful lush.
Here are simple tips for watering the lawn during spring
How Often Should You Water your Lawn in Spring?
First, your lawn cannot survive spring without water. The number of times you water depends on the maturity of the lawn, either it is new lawn or established lawn.
Watering New Lawn in Spring in Australia
New lawns need more water for a firm and drought-tolerant root. Ensure that you water the new lawn immediately after laying it. Subsequently, water it at least once a day until it is established. Water the new lawn twice a day when the weather during the day is around 28-30 degrees. You will know the lawn is established when the root is strong and doesn't pull up easily.
Watering Established Lawn in Spring in Australia
For an established Australian lawn, the watering depends on the weather. Typically, you need to water an established lawn at least once a week or fortnight to keep it lush and green. If the weather is constantly over 28 degrees, you should monitor the lawn to avoid dryness. If it appears to be drying out, you will still need to water it daily.
Furthermore, the best method to water the lawn is to use an irrigation system, especially for long lawns. The irrigation system sprinkles water evenly, unlike the hose. Deep watering is encouraged every time you water lawns in spring. Deep watering promotes more profound root growth.
When To Water Your Lawn
Finally, best time to water the lawn in the spring is early morning or dusk. Water it for 20-30 minutes and check it by sticking your finger into the lawn to know if the water is enough.
