Try a drip/soaker hose watering the grass for a couple of months. Deep
soak
the soil. Then, let it dry out for about 4 or 5 days between irrigation
intervals. Equivalent to long slow rain/drizzle all day. Your grass
shouldn't have a problem if it has a decent depth root structure. This
will
also save little on water as there is little runoff or evaporation.

How do you water a whole lawn with a soaker hose? They are fine for
shrubs/flowers planted close together in a bed, but how are you
supposed to do any reasonable size lawn with one? And how is that
supposed to do anything to prevent mushrooms?

I agree that letting the lawn dry out as much as possible between
waterings is a good idea, but don't get the reasoning behind the soaker
hose.


my usual routine for watering is everyother day for the time i said in my
OP. i use a regular lawn sprinkler, i don't have a sprinkler system, but i
even those people who have sprinkler systens who water every day, even when
it's raining, never get 'shrooms. i'm perplexed.
