a.m. vs p.m. lawn watering
 
Can you all settle a marital dispute--which is better for a grass lawn,
watering in the early morning or late evening?

TIA,
Heidi

Very, very early morning...gives water a chance to soak in before the heat of
day.

If watering in pm, the moisture may contribute to fungal growth, mildew, and
other diseases/problems, especially in hot, humid summer. We're humid enough
around here without adding more moisture into the equation.

Complete agreement.
