What the other two people said about extremes of moisture vs dryness is
right. Beside watering regularly and evenly, which involves work, you should
also mulch the plants, which helps minimize rapid drying. If you have not
poisoned your lawn with weed killers & pesticides, and if you mower has a
bagging attachment, you have a free source of excellent mulch.
