Existing lawns require at least 1 inch of rain/water per week. A deep, slow soaking is much better than frequent, light watering. Sandy soils require more watering than clay or heavy soils. The best time to water is between 6 to 8 am. Watering in the morning reduces the chance of diseases.
As the season continues, follow the University of Minnesota Extension’s Lawn Care Calendar.
Applying mulch in the spring helps control weeds and retain moisture, which means healthier plants and less maintenance work for you.
When the weather turns warm, a blanket of mulch will help keep moisture in. A layer of 1-2 inches of fine mulch should be sufficient, bulkier mulch should be 3-4 inches deep. Leave 1-2 inches of space between woody stems and tree trunks to prevent damage to your plants and trees.
