Q

Just wondering when the best time to water my lawn is? I've heard night time is best because less water is evaporated by the sun is this true?

A

No you should never water lawns at night.

First up is because lawns and plants cannot absorb water without photosynthesis. So much of the water applied at night will wash away before the lawn can absorb it the next day - so it's a waste of water.

The next and worst problem is that leaving water sitting on the lawn overnight will provide perfect moist and dark breeding grounds for all lawn diseases, so you could well be creating a rod for your own back in times to come.

Always water lawns in the morning.
