Let Bradley the Lawn Tamer show you how to grow a stronger lawn using less water.
The issue
It's difficult to know how much water your lawn really needs and overwatering is common.
What can you do?
Follow Bradley the Lawn Tamer's top tips:
- Water no more than twice a week in the dry and never when it's wet
- Good soils are the key to a healthy lawn
- Use your catcher in the wet and make the most of your clippings in the dry
- Choosing the right turf can save you up to 13 Sundays a year
- Let the rain do the heavy lifting and turn your irrigation off when it's wet.
Did you know?
Short periods without water will encourage your lawn to grow slower - train your lawn to be satisfied with one good soak per week when it's dry.
Using some lawn space to grow fruit and vegetables instead can save money at the surpermarket and time behind the mower.
To reduce water loss from evaporation, water your lawn at night using a low flow sprinkler.
