the lawn will need one inch of water per week, preferably delivered in one or

Pam, if someone is using a tripod impact sprinkler, with a radius of up to 90
feet . . . b y some accounts it takes 3 hours to get 1/4 of an inch of water.
Would that mean to run the sprinkler 4 times a week for 3 hours to get one
inch? If so, then for a large lawn (mine is 1 acre matured grass, plus
another 1 acre of matured mowed field grass) - that may require 12 hours of
watering each week for several large areas. (by the way, we have our own well
at the base of Rocky Mountains where water is plentiful)
