I have a bermuda grass lawn and do not over-seed it during the winter. Do I need to irrigate the grass to keep it healthy?
Bermuda grass is a warm season grass and will typically go dormant during the months of December through April when soil temperatures are below 60 degrees. Keep in mind that just because the grass appears dead on top of the ground doesnt necessarily mean that the plant doesnt need continual care during the winter. Use a small shovel or screwdriver to open up the first couple of inches of soil to check the moisture content. You want to maintain even moisture content during the winter. Typically, you will run an irrigation cycle once every week to two weeks.
