Why is watching grass videos so interesting. I'm an addict

95% of the people don’t have the money to water their lawn like it’s suppose to .

[Malcarper]

Some good tips there I use a basic soil moisture test meter, to aid me when to water the lawn . Has 'Wet', 'Moist', 'Dry' indicator scale. I just push the meter spike in, at random intervals across the lawn. Then I only water, when meter goes into the 'Dry'. I rarely water the lawn every day, usually every 2-3 days in hot weather.

what an excellent video. I used to be more casual with my lawn but I am seeing more soil erosion over the years and I now want to look after it better, particularly in a heatwave, lots of useful professional tips. I am really looking forward to seeing improvements over the years.

I don't understand why the presenter changed. I was loving the first guy, then all of a sudden a different presenter came on! Both did a great job!

I have the budget one all I do is adjust the water pressure from the tap and it reduces or increases the distance of the spray to your liking worked fine for me.

[williammorris]

I use a hose :) I find it relaxing standing there for 20mins... maybe I'm a bit simple 😂

In Bulgaria, where we get hot, dry summers, so watering is essential.

[philgornall]

The budget one does have adjustment, you can set each arm to a different arc by twisting the ends, so you have one quite vertical to stop the issue you had not getting coverage close to the sprinkler. I have it and when you have it set right it covers a circle absolutely fine

[raoultesla]

Did Jason used to work at BAE? Seriously, all good tip for the lawn health, especially about when to water, and how often

[calmdymon]

I have this cheapest budget sprinkler, it have 3 arms which you can adjust the tilt, more tilt more speed, you can put one arm straight up making it spray right above the sprinkler covering all the areas, other 2 arms can control wider area and slower speed of spinning, which will make water droplets instead of spray.
And lastly opening the tap will help you with all the adjustments.

[MrSBGames]

You can adjust the "budget" one. You change the position of the black bits and it changes the flow shape and how fast it spins

[mikedinni]

All very well and good having a timer. But my garden is a third of an acre and I need to move my sprinklers about 6 tunes to cover the lawn. So 8pm it is for me unfortunately. Although I've never had any diseases in my lawn

[crossmr]

So just a heads up on that green sprinkler. It looks bad, because you didn't use it properly. You gave it way too much pressure (I did the same). You can actually adjust the nozzles slightly, to point them more up, but then back the pressure off, just turn it on a bit and you'll see steady streams of water coming out and it will cover the area around the sprinkler.

[weepz]

Great video, that adjustable one to bring the spray pattern narrow or wide looks ideal! Tried so many Hozelock sprinklers but all to big for my front lawn. Thanks guys!

[og-mgtow]

I live in South Florida. Daily watering in the summer is almost a necessity.

Soil test for regulating nutrients and PH test help alot for ground compaction and the ability of the soil to absorb and hold water longer while draining appropriately. The screw driver test is for compaction not how much water is in the ground. Here in Upstate New York in the U.S. we have heavy clay soil which loves to compact and become like brick if you don't have your soil nutrients and PH correct. With everything in appropriate ranges water for 1.5 inches per week if your not getting rain is plenty. Using organics in your lawn reduces compaction and less water is needed as water gets deeper into the ground. A product call Hydretain also work well for water less often...I never need to aerate my lawn or use sand to help drainage because my organic input and using humic acid along with root growth stimulates keep my soil draining well. Want a great draining soil...Grow massive roots...

[pauldavey]

Excellent. Every 2-3 days been saying that since I was a sapling 😂 but no one listens 😂 some great tips as always, thank you.

[dariogiordano]

The cheapest design (£2.50 @ home bargains in Belfast) is absolutely superb! It can be adjusted to remove the gap you found in the video. Real shame yous marked it down so much as it really is incredible value for money in comparison to the bigger brand units.

[davidplanet]

More Jason’s Tooltips in future 😀 As I’m on a water meter I can only deep water once a month. The lawn dries our faster along one edge where it borders on to my Neighbour’s drive. It’s gone brown there. Is it worth adding extra water to this part or just leave it dormant.

I really want to have a Guinness with this lad
