Before making efforts to turn your brown grass back to green, then you need to determine exactly what caused the grass to turn brown. Although grass shade can be affected by disease and insect damage, the most frequent cause of grass turning brown in California is inappropriate watering practices. Checking the total amount of water your grass is getting is a good place to begin when resolving the problem. Some kinds of grass can go dormant and turn brown if they receive substandard water.
Identify the type of grass you have that’s turning brown as cool-season or even warm-season grass. Know the Water conditions for that species and the way those requirements differ from season to date.
Space the empty cans around the grass area. Run the sprinklers for 20 minutes, and also measure the total amount of water accumulated in each can, in ins using a ruler.
Identify whether there’s uniform coverage by locating cans that are collecting less or more water than others. If you determine the coverage is not uniform, then correct your sprinklers to spray from the locations that are being missed.
Determine the average quantity of water accumulated by adding the whole water accumulated in all the cans, and divide by the amount of cans you are using. Multiply the average by 3 to find out how much water is applied to your bud per hour.
Adjust the sprinkler timer for longer increments as required, dependent on the quantity of water your grass variety requires for the time of year. Most lawns need 1 or 2 inches of water per week. These conditions vary depending on soil type and quantity of sunlight as well as geographical location.
