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
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”
Spot on technique did this for the first time last summer it really did help me dial in certain zones that needed more or less on a cycle . Good Job brother on this one.
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
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.
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 one inch per week (if you do one water it’s per watering, 2 = 1/2”, 3= 1/3” per watering ect, but no need to water more then 3 x a week tbh unless it’s new or super sandy and your working on adding material to hold moisture)
Go to love lawns. I have not even enough water to cover the bottom of the cup but I have fungus next to dormant grass. But at least now I know. Thanks for the video
+@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 🥴
@@TheGreenerLawn the difference is indistinguishable in the cup test. I suppose I can see how many ml the actual difference using a syringe. Gonna switch to some deep watering every other day rather than my daily schedule and see if that helps.
@@thereefaholic it’s in inches, of standing water no need to do that (it will not assist). In inches what do you feel the depth was? I’m guessing just drops in 10 min?
@@TheGreenerLawn Boo! That stinks. If anyone can make er' green at 1 watering a week, it's you J! It will be interesting to see what tips and hacks you have this year.

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

That lawn as I’ve seen it over the past year, has looked phenomenal as well, so you def did it well sir!
I appreciate you sir!
Last Aussie 😁. Jeremy, good practical advice.😎
Ummm this switch has me confused! Ur always first but now saying last and Im stuck in the middle!
Thanks bro!!! You are doing gods work!!!! 🙏🏽
Glad you enjoy it my friend! Get me
Your numbers and we will get you dialed in!

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
SOO smart!

Maybe I missed it, so I apologize if this is repetitive. Do you live in Texas?

What are the cups called

1.5" Sprinkler Gauge with Wide Mouth, Outdoor Water Measuring Gauge for Lawn
Per watering or per week?

On my way!
@@TheGreenerLawn see you next week
First, BABY!
Tres mi amigo let's go ooo
¡Si!
This will be especially important as water restrictions kick in. There is rumor we will be cut to one day a week like NSL already is...
I’m already restricted…. 1 x a week

Second😁
Got em!
As soon as my water is on, this will be happening... I have a couple spots that are a problem every year.
Ohh you no doubt will nail this cup test and dial those spots in!
@@TheGreenerLawn thanks! I love how practical and easy your videos are. Basically, anyone can do these things.
