" It wasn't you that wrote...

" Lots of people say not to water at night, as wet grass
promotes disease and fungus. However, I think this is mostly
nonsense."


Yes, I wrote that and I stand by it. Some people have the idea that
watering at night must be avoided. Starting watering anytime at night
so that it finishes by about 6AM works perfectly fine. That applies
the water when the air tends to be calm and temps are lowest,
minimizing evaporation. And as I pointed out, it rains in nature at
night doesn't it? The real problems from water come when it's applied
too frequently, keeping the grass constantly wet. That doesn't happen
from watering once or twice a week.
