Lawn Sprinklers
Every gardener knows that using lawn sprinklers is the way of keeping your turf looking healthy and vibrant, but with so many different types to choose from it can be a bit confusing which one would be right for you.
Here we have information on the more popular types of lawn sprinklers available today, the first thing to consider is the size, this is a major factor when determining which sprinkler is best.
If you have a large lawn and do not have the time to go round and control the watering in different areas, then you should look at installing an automatic in-ground sprinkler irrigation system. This type of irrigation system can be expensive and time consuming to install, and is not recommended for your average backyard.
For your average sized turf using stand alone lawn sprinklers which connects to a outlet via a hosepipe is perfectly adequate.
This type can consist of the Oscillating sprinkler system which have a long tube with various openings, by moving back and forth it omitts a fan shaped cascade to cover your lawn.
Another type is the impact lawn sprinklers, this rotates around in a circle and omitts a single jet of water making that familiar clicking sound you here when they are running.
The rotating type sprinklers will have two or more arms attached to it, this helps it to dispatch in a complete circle around your turf. Another popular type of lawn sprinklers is the sprinkler hose, this is a hose that lies along the ground and has tiny holes along the length of it, this type covers a long rectangular area of the garden when in operation.
While choosing the right sprinklers is important, it is also important to understand when to water and notice the signs that it needs some refreshment.
lawns require much more moisture when the weather is hot and sunny, because grass is composed mostly of moisture it is important to get your lawn sprinklers regime correct when the weather is hot and dry.
If you are not sure when the turf needs moisture then you can look for signs that it needs some, this will be the grass going brown in places and generally looking really dry and dull.
The time to use your lawn sprinklers would be early in the morning if possible, this will give moisture time to get down to the roots where it is needed before the hot midday sun evaporates it.
One thing you should be careful of is not to use the lawn sprinklers to often, you don't want to over water your lawn, over irrigation can lead to problems such as disease and infestations if it is constantly wet throughout the day.
If your lawn does get the dry brown patches on it then dont panic this might not mean the grass is dead, it probably just needs the lawn irrigation turned on to bring it back to a vibrant looking state.
