My neighbor told me I was watering my lawn wrong for 5 years straight
Honestly, I always just set my sprinklers to run for 20 minutes every evening after work. My neighbor Bob, who's like 70 and has the greenest grass on the block, finally said something last month. He told me I was doing it all backwards, that watering every day just makes the roots shallow and weak. He said I should be watering deep once or twice a week for like an hour, early in the morning before the sun comes up. I felt pretty dumb but I switched it up and it's only been a few weeks but the grass is already looking way darker green and not browning at the edges. Has anyone else had to unlearn bad lawn habits after getting roasted by a neighbor?
