  • 95% of people don't know how to water their lawns properly. In today's video, we will cover everything you need to know about how to keep your lawn hydrated during a heatwave and how to look after it if there is a hosepipe ban.
    Now first things first, do you need to water your lawn to keep it alive? No, you don't, it will come back in its own time if it doesn't see any water. Though this video is for people that want to keep their lawn green and healthy during hot weather. And I will be sharing my top tips to help you from not watering properly with an added bonus of how to save money watering your lawn.
    I will also be looking at different types of sprinklers and testing them out, so you don't have to.
    Here are the sprinklers that we tested, the one that failed hasn't been listed as I don't wish for any of you to waste your money on it!

    Some good tips there Robbie........ I use a basic soil moisture test meter, to aid me when to water the lawn . Has 'Wet', 'Moist', 'Dry' indicator scale. I just push the meter spike in, at random intervals across the lawn. Then I only water, when meter goes into the 'Dry'. I rarely water the lawn every day, usually every 2-3 days in hot weather.

      I use a hose too. That's the best part of my day. But now I am being pressured to change my ways, to get the right sprinklers and put on the timer. So now they caused me stress, so much I don't know why, they say I am not water well, but my yard always looked good. Then when I got sick and didn't feel well enough to go out, I lost all I worked so long for, they let it get so dry. Cuz i didnt have automatic sprinklers out in my yard, now still not well, have been trying to get back what I had. It's just not working out so well.. have lost hope I ever will. I had nice green grass all over my yards, I don't know how I did, if I was doing it so wrong. But now they let it go, and I haven't got it back.. the times I enjoyed just holding the hose and destress from all they say. May never be part of my day again ... they make it sound like such a chore. But no. Because they couldn't do it ... I am so sad I got so sick I couldn't keep it up. But to any things are run by machines, my grass grew cuz my heart.

    More Jason’s Tooltips in future 😀 As I’m on a water meter I can only deep water once a month. The lawn dries our faster along one edge where it borders on to my Neighbour’s drive. It’s gone brown there. Is it worth adding extra water to this part or just leave it dormant.

    I have this cheapest budget sprinkler, it have 3 arms which you can adjust the tilt, more tilt more speed, you can put one arm straight up making it spray right above the sprinkler covering all the areas, other 2 arms can control wider area and slower speed of spinning, which will make water droplets instead of spray.
    And lastly opening the tap will help you with all the adjustments.

      I use a lot of slow-release nitrogen fertilisers with a balanced NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) ratio. They provide a steady supply of nutrients over an extended period, which helps avoid excessive growth spurts and minimises the risk of burning the grass in hot weather.

    Soil test for regulating nutrients and PH test help alot for ground compaction and the ability of the soil to absorb and hold water longer while draining appropriately. The screw driver test is for compaction not how much water is in the ground. Here in Upstate New York in the U.S. we have heavy clay soil which loves to compact and become like brick if you don't have your soil nutrients and PH correct. With everything in appropriate ranges water for 1.5 inches per week if your not getting rain is plenty. Using organics in your lawn reduces compaction and less water is needed as water gets deeper into the ground. A product call Hydretain also work well for water less often...I never need to aerate my lawn or use sand to help drainage because my organic input and using humic acid along with root growth stimulates keep my soil draining well. Want a great draining soil...Grow massive roots...

    So just a heads up on that green sprinkler. It looks bad, because you didn't use it properly. You gave it way too much pressure (I did the same). You can actually adjust the nozzles slightly, to point them more up, but then back the pressure off, just turn it on a bit and you'll see steady streams of water coming out and it will cover the area around the sprinkler.

    • @philgornall

      Agreed. I love this channel but I do feel they either had ulterior motives to sway the results or really just missed the blinding obvious that you could adjust it.

    "Onto the budget one, there's no adjustment for this"
    Yes there is, you can angle the three arms for a wider or narrower throw pattern. This also solves the "gap between the device and where the water lands" problem, by setting the three arms to different angles: having one pointing more vertically means the water will land closer to the sprinkler

    The cheapest design (£2.50 @ home bargains in Belfast) is absolutely superb! It can be adjusted to remove the gap you found in the video. Real shame yous marked it down so much as it really is incredible value for money in comparison to the bigger brand units.

    I am new to gardening. What is an oslowcating sprinkler?

    • @Premier_lawns_official
      @Premier_lawns_official  Рік тому

      Sometimes spelt "Oscillating".

    • @Premier_lawns_official
      @Premier_lawns_official  Рік тому

      An oscillating sprinkler is a device that helps water your garden or lawn by spraying water in a back-and-forth motion. It has a long tube with several small holes or nozzles on top. When you attach it to a hose and turn on the water, the sprinkler moves from side to side, covering a wide area.
      As the water flows through the holes or nozzles, it creates a spray that travels in an arc. The oscillating motion of the sprinkler ensures that the water is distributed evenly across your garden or lawn. This helps to keep your plants hydrated and promotes healthy growth.
      You can usually adjust the range and width of the spray by using controls on the sprinkler. This allows you to customize the watering pattern to suit the size and shape of your garden.

    A good way to tell if your lawn is getting dry is by looking at the color. Before it starts to take damage it shifts the color a bit to blue, which is the perfect time for a deep watering.

      It rains at all hours, of course, but you're choosing to add extra water on top
      If you're doing that, you can choose when to add the water - so it's best to add it in the morning when the grass is about to grow and be active all day, rather than at night when fungus is active

    Like it doesn't rain in the middle of the night. So why would water at 2 am cause harm. The answer is it doesn't. Over watering is what causes harm. The time you do it doesn't. If your done before the sun comes up you have ensured to get the most out of the water.

      This video took two of us 1 day to film and 1 day to edit (3 days in total if you like for one person). I'm self employed and a small business and have to earn a living
      The great thing with Amazon is affiliate links, these are links to the products I talk about.
      It doesn't cost you an extra to buy from my links and if you do use them Amazon pays me a small commission on the sale (it's not much btw)
