1. Tips For Managing
Your Lawn During A
Drought
A drought is a prolonged period of dry weather that
occurs naturally throughout the world. Lack of
precipitation causes a water shortage in this disaster,
which develops slowly. Agriculture, health, economies,
and the environment can all be negatively affected by
drought.

2. Summer is the time of year when everyone dreams of
having a green lawn with lush grass. The process of
accomplishing this can be challenging even in the best of
times. The task becomes slightly more challenging when
the weather is dry. Drought stress has symptoms that are
crucial to understanding. In that period, if you see any signs
of wilting, color darkening, or footprints on the lawn, you
need to focus on drought lawn care. The following article
provides tips for drought-resistant lawn care:
Let the grass grow
You should not be afraid to adjust your mowing height
depending on the needs of your lawn. Keeping your grass
high is essential when drought strikes. A tall turfgrass
provides some shade and helps establish deep roots, which
further helps your lawn resist drought.

3. A lawn can be sucked dry by weeds, requiring all the nutrients,
water, and space they can get. Weed your lawn by hand if you
notice pesky weeds creeping up on your lawn.
A risky approach to fighting weeds during drought is applying
herbicides. You can't apply herbicides in hot weather (over 80-
85 degrees) since the herbicide will evaporate and your turf
cannot absorb it. Increasing temperatures and drought lawn
care can also cause plants (including weeds) to go dormant
and stop absorbing nutrients, so herbicides wouldn't be
absorbed.
Weed by hand
Avoid fertilizing
When there is a dry spell in the weather, don't
fertilize your lawn. Fertilizers high in salt, especially
those applied during hot, dry weather, can burn
your turf. You should provide your lawn with plenty
of water to allow it to absorb the fertilizer.

4. Don’t dethatch or aerate
During a drought, you should not aerate or dethatch
your lawn. In a drought, dethatching and aerating will
add even more stress to your already stressed lawn.
It's best to dethatch and aerate your lawn in the spring
or fall when the weather is cool and your lawn is not
under so much strain. It is also possible to recover your
lawn after the drought ends by dethatching and
aerating it.
Watering your lawn efficiently is important during a drought
- if you can. A drought or water restrictions will make it
necessary for you to maximize every drop of water. Water
every five to seven days if there is enough water available
and you do not have water restrictions. Water can be
conserved by letting your grass go dormant or waiting until
you notice wilting signs before you sprinkle your lawn
Water efficiently

5. Keep off the lawn
If your lawn is suffering from drought stress, you may notice that your footsteps leave a mark on the
grass after you walk over it. It can be difficult for your grass to survive in dry, hot weather. During
dormancy or when your lawn is withering, it is best to avoid trampling on it. It may be difficult for your
lawn to thrive under drought conditions with the added stress of foot traffic.
The compaction of soil increases with a lot of foot traffic and can exacerbate drought stress. When
your soil is compacted, water cannot soak into the ground and your plants cannot establish roots.
Mulch your heart out
Mulching grass clippings on the lawn can return nutrients to the soil. But you should avoid it if your
lawn is infested with weeds or diseased grass. It can also prevent weeds from invading your dormant
lawn if you mulch healthy grass during drought lawn care.
You can add organic mulch to your garden beds to keep the soil cool and moist after watering. The
mulch will retain water and prevent it from evaporating. Weeds are also kept away from the garden
by mulch. When organic mulch is added, such as wood chips, shredded leaves, and grass clippings,
will decompose and return nutrients to the ground.
