Watering your lawn is incredibly important, but how often should you be doing it? Many homeowners are uncertain about the frequency of their lawn watering, worried about both overwatering and underwatering their lawns.
The answer to the question of how often you should be watering your lawn in Indiana is twice a week. This recommendation comes from Benjamin Easley, Citizen Energy's Coordinator of Corporate & Public Affairs. Easley explains that many homeowners use automatic irrigation systems that run on daily schedules, causing excess stress on the water infrastructure. Therefore, dialing back your irrigation systems to twice a week will help to alleviate this stress on the infrastructure while still keeping your lawn healthy.
In addition to the frequency of watering, Easley provides other useful water usage tips. One suggestion is to turn off your irrigation systems if rain is in the forecast to avoid overwatering your lawn. You should also direct your sprinklers away from driveways and other objects that do not need watering.
