    Excellent job on this video. I have the same cups and tried them in 2020.Put out 10 of them on my 1600 sq foot lawn that has one zone. I was shocked to see how little water was actually accumulated in them after running them for 10 mins. They really give you a good idea of how much water the lawn is really getting

    Great video and breakdown of stations to help figure out how much to put down after a good rainfall for that week!

      Yup, put those up 💯 %, and adjust accordingly! If you get good rain storms through the season, you want to factor it in! Get 1/2” rain this week, only water 1/2” , get 1” of rain… welp your solid, wait till next week! No rain, full 1”

    So for these cups- Are these in 1/10th inch increments? I.e the first line from the bottom of the cup is 1/10”? Its a little misleading because the demarcations make it seem that it doesn’t start until like an 1/8” above the bottom of the cup

    • @TheGreenerLawn
      @TheGreenerLawn  4 месяца назад +1

      1/10” yup. Remember the bottom thickness of the cup is counter there too

    Great video Jeremy! I usually water 2× a week and do a half inch each time

  • @yoko180
    @yoko180 2 года назад +2

    Great information! It is my understanding that the average is a about one inch per week which means that he would need to water his lawn about 20 mins every 4 days for example. I dont think that was mentioned in the video. For a beginner like me that information is helpful.

    • @TheGreenerLawn

      Lol, this is actually a video for my lawn coaching clients, but I let folks get them
      On my channel. We take their information and transform it into a watering schedule.
      So, if you listen closely, you hear me mention, if you get 1/4 inch means that you will need to water 4 - 1/4” ( 40 minutes) total for the week. Now you take that and break it into 3-1 watering days. Your on the right track, if you choose 3x a week you would water 13 min 3 times a week. If you choose 2x that is 20 min. If it’s 1 x its 40 min. Then we cycle zones to make sure it gets into the soil deep vs running off.
      It is one inch, that is mentioned… and that is weekly ( some with hot weather need 1.25”…. And I concede some super hot need 1.5”, but I’ve taught folks on 1.25” above 100 and it works).
      Like I said it was a step, that I cater to my coaching folks, so yes, it doesn’t hit all aspects a, as they have me on retainer for verbal assistance.
      My fault to not fill this in for others, good catch.

      +@thereefaholic what was the difference in the amount of water in that area of fungus?
      Disease can occur in lack of water situations as well, as the grass is stressed and the disease can take over. It’s not always too much water 🥴

      Gonna switch to some deep watering every other day rather than my daily schedule and see if that helps.
