High Watering Requirements


Compared to the warm season grasses, Kentucky bluegrass has a high water requirement. In summer, as much as 2 inches of water per week are needed to keep bluegrass green and growing. Ideally this amount of water would be applied in one day to wet the entire rootzone of the turf. However, the effective rootzone is often too shallow to hold that amount of water. No less than 1 inch of water should be applied on any single day to promote deeper rooting of the bluegrass turf.
