Tips n Timesavers
GROWING GREAT GRASS

One good, deep watering is much better than watering grass or lawn several times lightly. Great looking lawn needs 3 cm of water a week in cooler months or 3cm of water every 3 days in summer. To measure, put an empty tuna can on the lawn with your sprinkler. Turn off the water when the can is full. For best results, water your garden or lawn only in the early morning or late evening.
