Every gardener knows that using
lawn sprinklers is the best way of keeping your garden lawn looking healthy and vibrant, but with so many different types to choose from it can be a bit confusing which one would be best for you.
Here i will give you information on the more popular types of lawn sprinklers available today, the first thing to consider is the size of your lawn, this is a major factor when determining which sprinkler is best. If you have a large garden lawn and do not have the time to go round and control the watering in different areas, then you should look at installing an automatic in-ground sprinkler system. This type of system can be expensive and time consuming to install, and is not recommended for your average garden lawn.
For your average garden lawn using a stand alone water sprinkler which connects to a water outlet via a hosepipe is perfectly adequate for watering your lawn. This type can consist of the Oscillating sprinkler which have a long tube with various openings, by moving back and forth it omits a fan shaped cascade of water to cover your lawn.
Another type to consider is the impact
lawn sprinklers, this rotates around in a circle and omits a single jet of water making that familiar clicking sound you here when they are running. The rotating type sprinkler will have two or more arms attached to it, this helps it to dispatch the water in a complete circle around your garden. Another popular type of lawn sprinkler is the sprinkler hose, this is a hose that lies along the ground and has tiny holes along the length of it, this type covers a long rectangular area when in operation.
While choosing the right lawn sprinklers for your garden lawn is important, it is also important to understand when to water your lawn and notice the signs that it needs watering. Garden lawns require much more water when the
weather is hot and sunny, because grass is composed mostly of water it is important to get your watering regime correct when the weather is hot and dry.
If you are not sure when to water your lawn then you can look for signs that
it needs some water, this will be the grass going brown in places and generally looking really dry and dull. The best time to water your garden lawn would be early in the morning if possible, this will give the water time to get
down to the roots where it is needed before the hot midday sun evaporates it.
One thing you should be careful of is not to over water your lawn, this can lead to problems such as disease and infestations if your lawn is constantly
wet throughout the day. If your garden lawn does get the dry brown patches on it, then dont panic this might not mean the grass is dead it probably just needs some extra water to bring it back to a vibrant looking state, there is a
product out there called re-green which can help to revive your tired looking lawn.
