I think you have to make a decision between people who do this for a

garden book.

Techniques have changed in the professional industry over the last few
years; remember Saturday football, with teams so muddy you could not
tell what team was playing.

Water conservation is important to some people, but not everyone. *If
you have a new turf area you need to keep it wet. If you don’t, watch
what happens. *Shrinkage and damaged areas within days. *Morning or mid
afternoon it makes no difference it’s a percentage game with saving
water.


If you have to PAY for water by the amount used, which is very
common, losing a significant portion
to evaporation does make a difference. Even if you don't pay for it
in most parts
of the educated world, efforts are being made to conserve water where
you can. So is it that unreasonable to water a lawn before dawn to
reduce evaporation?




Everyone seems to try to better the last person’s comments.



Including you, numbnuts who added nothing so far.



I have trained green and grounds men for years, regardless of what
anyone says, some one always knows better. *I always tell my class
"Advice comes cheap, but you have to pay for experience".


I'm sure if they got as much info from you as the OP asking the
question, they are still clueless.
