how long should i let my sprinklers run? i live in phoenix az we dont get rain?
i have a backyard with nothing but dirt in it, i decided to go ahead and landscape it and part of it will be a lawn. right now i just have one of those moveable pulsating sprinklers i got from a hardware store , it doesnt have any instruction. the grass type will be bermuda. any tips or suggestion are welcome but for the most part i just want to know how long to run them if if there is a certain rule of thumb for how much water (in inches) a lawn needs.
It depends on the soil type – sandy dries faster than rich humus.
Get a cheap rain gage or use a straight sided open topped container like a can and put it out in the middle of the area being watered. Then time how long it takes to collect a half inch of water.
I find most of mine take about 2 hours for a half inch. I always try to go a half inch minimum at a time to encourage the roots to grow deep. Once a week well watered is usually better than more often with less, which encourages shallow roots that dry up easily.
I just shut mine off. It’s been two hours. It’s evening so it will soak in with very little evaporation.
