Did you know? Lawn watering usually only needs 2.5 to 4 cm (1 to 1.5 inches) of water, once per week, just enough to soak soil to the root zone. Depending on the watering method, this may take only 30 mins. to an hour!
Tip: an empty tuna or pet food can placed on the grass when watering can act as a gauge. When it’s full you’re done!
Water in the morning or evening to reduce evaporation – as per Stage 1 water restrictions.
