A little rain doesn’t always mean your lawn has gotten enough water.
A simple rain gauge takes the guesswork out of watering. Our goal is about 1 inch of water per week, including both rainfall and irrigation, ideally spread across 2–3 watering days.
Check your gauge after it rains, keep track of your total for the week, and use your irrigation system to make up the difference. If Mother Nature gives you the full inch, you can give the sprinklers a break.
Consistent, deep watering helps encourage stronger roots and a healthier lawn. A $5 rain gauge can tell you a whole lot more than looking out the window!
