As some areas of northeast Florida have been getting hammered many afternoons by heavy rains, it’s important to remember that just because watering restrictions allow you to water your lawn and landscape two days a week, they don’t require that you water.
If your area receives rain within a couple of days of your watering day, you can typically skip your designated watering day. That’s an easy action for those without in-ground irrigation systems since it means that they don’t have to do anything at all. But, for those who have in-ground systems and have irrigation timers set to their designated two days a week, it means shutting off the systems so they don’t come on at all when they don’t need to.
Some people worry that if they skip their designated watering day and there’s no additional rain, then their grass and plants will die before their next designated watering day. The truth is that’s extremely unlikely if there’s moisture in the soil. Rainfall a couple of days before your watering day should carry your grass through to the next designated day.
