JAKARTA - Combing the home page at the wrong time will waste water and can dry grass. Launching Southern Living, Friday, October 14, the best time to water the home page is on cold days when the wind is cheap. In addition, the type of grass planted and the characteristics of the page can also affect the time to water the page. The following are things that need to be considered when watering the yard.

Regardless of the type of grass you plant, the best time to water the page is the morning before the hot weather. The reason is, you give roots time to absorb water perfectly. Watering in the morning also makes the yard cooler so that the grass is not too stressed.

If it can't be done in the morning, in the afternoon between 4 and 6 pm is the right time to water the yard. Avoid watering at night because wet grass throughout the night is the perfect breeding ground for fungi.

Also remember that you don't always have to water your yard. Grass has tough characteristics. Healthy and well-treated pages can last some time without water. Although changing in brown color, the grass will return to green when it rains.

Many people think 15 minutes is the time it takes to water the page. This opinion is wrong. You are advised to water for as long as possible up to 6 to 8 inches the top soil is completely wet.

Most wet pages require 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week, either from rain or watering, to submerge such deep soil. You can set the amount of water for one water sprinkling or divide it into two watering times a week to meet water needs.

Take a screwdriver, meter, and paint. Put a 6-inch spot on the screwdriver with paint. To see how long it takes to soak the soil. Put the screwdriver into the ground every 15 minutes to test how deep the water has wetted the soil.

Use the time after the soil is submerged up to a 6-inch mark. That's the benchmark for how long you need to water the page. If you want to know if you need to water the page or not, just look at it from the screwdriver. If the screwdriver is difficult to stab into the ground, it means you need to water the page, If it's easy to enter, then you don't have to rush to wet the page.

Watering in windy days can increase the rate of evaporation of irrigation water before absorbing into the ground. In the morning, wind speeds are generally lower. Therefore, watering the home page in the morning can help reduce the amount of water lost due to evaporation and the amount of water needed to irrigate the grass.
