Warmer and drier weather is in the future; you will be running your sprinklers. You want to be able to just set and forget about your sprinklers until it is time to shut them down for the winter. However, that is not going to be the best for your lawn.
Your sprinklers will need periodic attention to adjust the amount of water that your lawn is getting. Some examples of when to adjust your sprinkler clocks are rain, dry weather, cool weather, etc.
If you lawn is receiving too much or too little water, it can be harmful for your lawn. Too much water can drown the grass plants, and it is wasteful. Rain can cause you to have to lessen the amount of time your sprinklers needs to be on. A typical lawn needs one inch of water per week. This can come from rain or through your sprinklers. Too little water can cause the grass to dry up and weaken. There are going to be times when you need to water your lawn more. In periods of really hot and/or dry weather, your lawn is going to need more water to stay healthy.
The moral of the post is that your sprinklers are not set-and-forget. They are going to need period attention to help to maintain a healthy lawn, and to not be wasteful. It doesn’t need to be at the front of your mind all of the time, but it should be in the back of your mind to adjust your sprinkler clocks as needed.
