There’s something so relaxing about watching sprinklers in action.
So true, it has the same effect as watching a fire
I could sit and watch those sprinklers all day that is so sweet lol
Just got a sprinkler system last week. It’s so nice not to have to drag the hose around the yard every day
That lawn is recovering NICELY! Super dark green!
Lawn's looking great post sand and sprinkler install. Dang, takes me over an hour to get .25 with sprinklers and hoses. You're gonna love that!
Summer watering is very important people. Well done man that yard is looking damn good.
Another simple to follow, and very important topic.
Justin lawn has recovered nicely. Great job on the irrigation install.
Great video.....Nice green lawn you have
Water early in the morning- a dawnting task!
Yet again.... another great video giving good advice for lawn care. Great job👍!!
Thanks, from Lubbock,Texas.
I gotta start saving for my install.
Great advice! I am going put down Stress X and Hydretain this weekend and I am going to do exactly this when I water it in. Thank you 🌱👍
Lawn is looking great Justin, deep green forsure 👌🏼
Nice video ... I have some cans also but here is the problem: it is relative to the collection device diameter and depth. There is a quasi-standard that NOAA uses but it is something like 8 inch diameter opening. At any rate, measure the can diameter and depth. Mine has a diameter of 3.25 inches and a depth of 1.20 inches. Roughly 3 inches by 1 inch. Definitely, if you put a ruler in the container @ 0.500 inches, you get 1/2 inch of water (half the can). But ... take that 1/2 inch of water and pour it into a rain gauge. I used a LaCrosse 6 inch rain gauge, and my 1 inch depth can gave me 4 inches on the rain gauge. 1/2 inch in the tuna can gave 2 inches on rain gauge. It is a relative measurement, but it is not an absolute 1/2 inch of rainfall, for example. For me, it is useful to estimate what water is being put down as compared to something more consistent or known - like a rain gauge. And, be it said that I have two rain gauges, and they are not both in agreement - due to the mathematical principals that are not standardized and followed from one company to the next. So, if I put the tuna can (1 inch depth) in the lawn next to the LaCrosse rain gauge, and it comes a downpour, when the can fills up, the rain gauge will read approximately 4 inches of rain. Apply that as you will :).
Cool. I've just figured out this season about proper watering is essential for a great looking lawn.
Dude. Nice ln-ground sprinkler system.
Lawn looks great! Nice job and good tip.
Nature walk. That's pretty neat.
I’m a new fan! Love your passion for lawn care and taking the time to educate us and inspire us to do the same with ours. Good stuff👍🏽
Great video. The lawn is healing up quick after the irrigation install!
Justin great video I'm going to try this thanks for sharing !
My neighbor has a system that blasts so much water that the mist from his sprinkler system waters my lawn. He runs this thing for three hours a day, and that's just the zone I can see.
Awesome video buddy it really does make sense to use tuna or chicken cans thats cool ill try that soon thanks
Very nice grass sir!
Tuna cans have a straight side and a flat bottom. That is why they are recommended. The containers you used have a wider or flared outward opening at the top compared to the flat bottom surface area. So you have a funnel effect whereby the amount of water entering the wider upper surface area is funneled into a smaller area at the bottom. That gives a false higher level of water received.
Change the measuring container to an upright soda bottle with a small opening at the top with its wider bottom. In this case the entering 1/2 " of water spreads out on the bottom but is measured at a lower height.
Any straight sided can and with a flat bottom are what you need, and why they are recommended.
The ones I used actually have flat sides and rounded bottom corners. Doesnt make much of a difference
I don’t have irrigation system what sprinklers can you recommend for deep watering? I have oscillating sprinkler but doesn’t seem to water deep enough; I have Bermuda grass mowed to 3-1/2”, no trees outside, should I bag instead of mulch?
I like the Melnor impact sprinkler or the orbit 360 I think it is
How to make grass thicker and greener. What kind liquid fertilizer shell we use and much ,can you make a video
My entire channel is dedicated to making grass thicker and greener. Go explore my other videos!
Great video Justin. Looking fantastic after the irrigation install! 💯🇺🇲
Great tips Justin. And the lawn looks awesome after all that work. Lookin thiccc
What kind of spinkler heads are you using in this video?
I’ve been watering everyday for one hour (that is giving me half inch with my 10$ hose sprinkler). My grass is a little bit faded, I usually mow it down to 2inches. Should I keep watering it everyday? (Im in Columbus OH btw) Thanks!
You have a nice yard and a beautiful house brother, great info.. thx.😎🤘
What would you recommend for North Texas I’m in Fort Worth?
Lawn tools called you on on Reddit, I got a good laugh.
What did they say???
Lawn looks great again nice work....
What brand is your sprinkler system? I’m looking for an irrigation system like that.
The music on this video was about 600% volume for me
Nice
You got a birdie 👌🏾🌱
Wow those are impressive!
Nice color
Do you have a video on the pop ups that you are using? I did not think that you can use that type on a smaller yard, I am in So Cal, our yards are a little smaller, but close. Thanks for the link on the Humid Acid.
Helpful. Thank you.
Can you please tell me what sprinkler system you use for the front of your house? Your lawn looks phenomenal!
Hunter pgp ultra. I made a video about the install a couple months ago
All of us want to know what type of grass is on the front yard and where did you buy it pls?
Do you mind if you do a sprinkler system overview
I actually planned on doing the tuna can thing this weekend really tired of guessing and dont wanna gamble on the amount of water im putting down with the heat coming . thanks
What sprinkler heads do you have? They look like they have a good “spray” coming out compared to my rotaries. Mine seem blotchy as heck.
What sprinkler heads do u have ????
We are in a draught and the city only wants us to water once a week. I need to put 1" on the water day.
Lawn recovered very nicely. Looks great Justin. Great timing on this video. Thx man
Hi. .what's the best grass seeds I can buy? I just moved in our home and I want to start doing my lawn .. help thanks
Where are you located?
Lawn looks amazing!
What sprinklers do u have in this video?
hey justin, quick question in this video (you may have answered it in past videos) but what type of grass do you have in this video front yard? Thanks a lot! Love your content
Just stumbled across your page today. Would you mind telling me the name of the sprinkler heads you’re using?
How long do run my sprinklers for centipede Grass in coastal Alabama Daphne
What sprinkler head is the one closests to your house on the corner on the right side?
They’re all the same. Hunter pgp
There is a guy in the neghborhood who waters his lawn most at night. Which is supposed to be a big no no. But It maintains very green. The rest of us who water during the day have crispy brown grass. Can you explain why that may be??
If you water during the day the water doesn't have a chance to soak down into the roots due to evaporation, so your grass won't get water and dry out. You should be watering around 4-9am.
i set a quick extra 5 min water cycle at noon just to cool down the soil. Blue grass
I try to do the beam for mine. Never a bad idea.
Waste of time and money. All that water just evaporates in the heat.
Nice work!! Sucks for the hanging basket. 😅
Gotta get that watering right!
What heads and nozzles are you using? That one by your driveway has a fantastic fan patter! My problem is usually uneven watering within a zone.
I agree. I've been searching comments looking for those exact sprinklers. Did you ever find out the brand?
@@jackbuster5618 nope! I’d like to
@@jackbuster5618 I can’t figure out how to tag him so he answers
So every 2 to 3 days you’ll water one time a day until you get it to 1”? Or do you water twice a day until you get to an 1” of water? I also live in a desert city and I have st Augustine grass.
No. I water every 3 days or so and water a half an inch each time.
The Lawn Whisperer ok thank you!
Lawn looking good and looks like someone found a home in that basket 🤦♂️
👍 on the new intro
Not sure if i missed it or not, but do you say the best time to water a lawn in the morning?
Yes early morning before sunrise is my preference
@@TheLawnWhisperer I have been telling people the best time to water is in the am, because the grass can use the water during the photosynthesis process that day.
People continue to argue with me though, & say night is the best. I have not found a really good sceintific theory or reason they prefer this. It has been so dry in my location at night the water would be absorbed by the ground overnight, & lawn dry by the am😧.
We just finally got a decent rain since April.😇
Tha k you for confirming my advise a lil bit😉 looking forward to more of your content.
I’m wondering what type of grass is that, I leave in Houston Tx, wondering if that grass will grow in my area because in the summer we can reach temperatures of 103 degrees… and I don’t really like St Agusting grass….
I wish I lived in a town with normal water rates.
My water rate is $35 per month plus $4 per 1000 gals usage. Waste water bill is $39 per month.
My basic rate is 45-55. My overseed month was 168
What kind or brand of sprinklers are those? They spray the water out very fan like and rooster tail almost. lol Covers every inch!
Awesome video
Are they pop up sprinkler system?
Yeah I had inground irrigation
Hello how many times a day should I water my lawn
For normal watering or when growing grass from seed?
I can’t and I figure most people can’t have their sprinkler run for 30 mins. After about 10 mins there is water running and not pooling. I sprinkle for 10 mins rest 2 hours water again this is in the am and then 10 more mins after sundown. Water run off gets worse as the watering time increases. How do you deal with that?
You have hydrophobic soil. The soil is very compact. You need to aerate your lawn or soak your lawn with a surfactant.
Your water pressure is unreal coming out of those heads.
Didn’t hear any “that’s what she said” references. Lol. Yard is looking good
I know I slacked on this one haha
Lookin good
Love your channel thanks for the info. A friendly tip, do with it what you want. Your intro (music part) seems a little long. I think you would increase subscribers by shortening it. How do I know it’s too long? All 4 of my kids told me it was waaay to long.
This video is a year old and I don’t use this intro anymore. Thanks for watching 👍
Very pretty. Do you live in the Pacific Northwest?
Are there certain times of the day or evening that are best to water at?
Usually between 6 am to 10 am is the best. So that it stays hydrated throughout the day while the sun is out. Avoid watering at night because water tends to cling to grass blades over night and creates new lawn diseases!
That system is misting pretty bad. That line could be expanded by at least 50% and you'd still save water. The ideal flow rate is beads of water flying across the garden.
What microphone do you use?
Respectfully that measuring idea may not be the best. Due to size difference of containers. Like you'll get faster results if you use a shot glass or you can get results slower with a pot. So would it be better if the measurement instrument to be larger or smaller? I'm genuinely curious.
Volume is volume. A smaller bowl would absolutely fill up quicker than a larger one. I think the end result it getting bowls that are all the same size. And basing your first measurements from there. Set line accordingly to not enough water or adequate water.
Just go with something that is standardized. In other words, get a rain gauage.
Simple & to the point. Well done bro. What kind of sprinklers do you have? I’ve been looking at something similar between the Hunter & Rain Bird.

Where did you get that Toro hat??
Are you using the Hyper Weather control with Rachio? Also, no The Office references!
Hi great video. Does this apply to United Kingdom lawns too?
What’s up Justin!😎👊
WOW
Your lawn looks great. When did you film this video?
About 11 days or so ago
Finding that my 360 hunter sprinkler head puts out a rate less than by 90-210 head.

Good job brother
How high do you cut in the summer?
I'm at 2.75 now
@@TheLawnWhisperer Really I have fescue and bluegrass I cut 4". Does it work well though?
Hi Brosef. Have you seen my Frankenmower yet on the FB group? Lol
I havent! What mower is it?
What hight do you cut your grass at
I'm at 2.75 right now
I cut mine at 4in
Where did you get that hat!! I can't find it. The lawn tools gave away a few. I can't find it anywhere. Not even on the toro website?!

lol… tell me you weren’t quoting the “Neature” guy at the end… and did NO ONE else watching catch that?! 😅
good job :)
What if there’s too much watering?
Then your lawn is prone to disease.
