Q: What is the appropriate watering schedule for my newly seeded lawn?
-Sarah K.
A: Use the "Soil Clump Test" to tell if soil has enough water: Wait about 6 hours after rain or watering. Grab a handful of soil and squeeze it into a ball. If mud sticks to your hand, it's too wet so water less. If the ball crumbles, it's too dry so water more. If the ball of soil holds together but comes off clean from your hand, it's just right.
