New Grass Will Need Summer Watering

A Kentucky bluegrass lawn can be maintained without extra water but it will brown and go dormant in hot dry summers. Adapted grasses wilt when water runs out, with tops turning brown and plants dormancy. Fall rains resume growth. seeded lawns need watering through summer unless very early spring or vigorous growth. Watering guidance includes soaker hoses, oscillating sprinklers, and careful distribution checks with cans. Bluegrass on Missouri clay loam needs about an inch weekly in July and August, adjusted for rainfall, with watering best during cool, low wind periods to reduce evaporation.
