An overly watered lawn can lead to various diseases.
Use this guide to prevent and treat lawn diseases caused by excessive moisture.
- Water Deeply and Infrequently: The infrequency helps encourage deep root growth.
- Water Early in the Morning: This helps grass blades dry out during the day, reducing fungal risk.
- Check Soil Moisture: Ensure soil needs water by probing it before watering. The screwdriver trick works great.
- Mow Properly: If a diseases shows up, raise your mower deck and let the grass grow a little longer than normal.
- Avoid Night Watering: Cool sunless nights create an environment in the yard for fungus and diseases to flourish.
- Aerate Regularly: Improve soil drainage and reduce compaction by performing a core aeration every other season.
