[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We overseeded earlier in the spring, so I’m still watering every few days when we don’t get rain.  So sense in letting the new grass/clover die so soon.[/quote]

It's already established, if you keep watering it like that it will have very shallow roots and be very drought-sensitive. Then you really will have to water. [/quote]

Exactly and turf grass has short roots anyway. This is a huge waste of time and effort because it will mat and be insanely high-maintenance. They should focus on shading the lawn and taking care of the trees which will shade the lawn and reduce the heat/sun stress of the grass. We bought a house where someone kept watering and watering and it is a royal PIA to rehab the sections we aren't replacing with lower maintenance plantings.

Really, though, the grass should be allowed to go dormant or shrunk and planted with more useful plants that are less wasteful of resources. Watering lawns is incredibly wasteful. [/quote]
