Awhile back i found a thread on here that was very informative in the area of waterign schedules for new zoysia lawns, i am however unable to find it now. Anyone know which thread im talking about, or where such information could be located?thanks in advance

I’d like to find the same info. I recently (last saturday) sodded 2700 sq ft with jamur zoysia and have no sprinkler system. I am using one of those watering tractors. The tractor on low takes about 8-9 hours to finish the new sodded areas. I have to water after work as I have no time in the mornings. I am worried about fungus because about 3 hours of watering is done after the sun has gone down. Weather here in central texas has been hot this week (close to 100 degrees). 2 weeks of watering like this everyday is going to drive me crazy. Any suggestions?

The thread still exists just expand your search setting beyond the one year period that is usually displayed.

My feeling is I wouldn’t worry about it, keep your new sod wet until it really gets established. My feelings is that it’s going to get really old watering it without a sprinkler system.
