October usually requires no irrigation to keep lawns healthy and still looking good going into winter. Here are three reasons why you probably don't need to water at all in October:
.
In an average year, turf needs to be watered only a couple of times during October. Because of lower temperatures and increased rain, extra irrigation isn't often needed. The increased amount of rain that normally comes in October usually takes care of plant water needs. The good news is that during the cooler weather of spring and fall there is usually sufficient natural rainfall. October normally provides the right amount of natural precipitation so extra irrigation is unnecessary, or if it is needed, it is very infrequent.It is possible to maintain a healthy, green lawn while only watering once or twice a week, even during the hottest parts of the year. It requires deep, well-established root systems.
Hot weather and shallow roots bring on summer dormancy. It is much easier to encourage deep roots by dialing back your watering in September, then cutting it off completely in October.
