That time my neighbor told me to stop watering my lawn every day
My neighbor Jim, who's like 70 and has the greenest lawn on the block, told me last summer I was drowning my grass. I was watering every single day for like 20 minutes because I thought that's what you do in Arizona heat. He said to water deep twice a week for 45 minutes instead. I tried it and my lawn actually looked better after two weeks, not worse. Now I'm wondering if I should just trust more old guy advice or if Jim just got lucky. Has anyone else been given a tip that went against everything you thought you knew?

Have you checked if your soil's actually clay, Jim might've known that lol.

24 hours of digging in my backyard and I found rocks, not clay - guess Jim knew my dirt better than I did. @the_alice, you got a shovel I can borrow for round two?
