I think you have to make a decision between people who do this for a
living, or the DIY gardeners who have read Doctor Hessions 25 year old
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.

Amazing Mr Trader. You know so much. Especially on saving water and things. Can we post you off to Africa? What is cheaper turf or water? Before you answer and rattle on about scales of economy and saving factors read the post again.

You sir would not last 5 seconds in the real world of making money as a business when only results are paid for.

Actually, I take that back. You did add this one gem:

"Keep the turf wet. Water as much as possible. If layed correct, it
will recover. "

Let;'s say I took your advice. I have a sprinkler system capable
of delivering 1/2" an hour. So, according to you, I should run
it 24/7 and put down 12" of water a day. See a problem with that,
regardless of the cost of water or any need to conserve?

My little friend, I thought you had gone to Africa there for a moment trader.

I think you do need everything explaining to you in more detail. You and your little imaginary hose pipe.

If you make a coffee do you fill the cup until it over flows?
When driving your car, do you keep the throttle down until you hit something? That’s the gas pedal before you ask.

Like I said, I deal with people in the class like you. “Thickies” we call them in the UK.
Do people always have to explain everything to you in fine detail? If I asked you to keep something wet as possible you think it means drowned it until it washes down the road. How about keep it dry as possible then, would set fire to it?

I go to the gym as much as possible. I don’t go every day all day until I drop. Its called common sense, and it’s not common with you. I will try and explain in fine detail for you in future trader, now I know you have leaning difficulties.
I think a village is missing an idiot near you. I knew you could not resist the word conserve. You just could not help yourself.
Well I think your conserving a little too much with your toilet visits, maybe this is why you are so full of it.
