New Sod - Day 3

lpennington
10 years ago

We installed about 175 sq feet of bluegrass sod a couple days ago. This followed a small patio/deck project. Day 1 was cloudy 75 degrees; Day 2 was sunny and 92 degrees. Day 3 (and 4 & 5) is going to be another 90+ degree day. I read the multiple threads where the advice was "deep and infrequent waterings"

On the morning of Day 2, I watered for approx 20 minutes in the morning, and another 25 min at 1pm. We had a very slight sprinkle about 6 pm. Day 3 morning, I watered for a full hour as I realized how long you have to water to get to half an inch with an oscillating sprinkler.

My question is should I water after lunch again considering the scorching heat? thx much.
