Zone always wet - advanced setting adjustment

post by Mistangz5 on Sep 30, 2023

I have a zone in my lawn that is near a drainage ditch in my yard, so it’s naturally always pretty moist. What should I change in my advanced zone settings to account for this? Available water?

The whole zone, or just part of it?

Honesty, I think it’s going to be a lot of trial and error, but could start by lowering crop coefficients (setting for how quickly plants use the water) 10-15 points and see how that does. Adjust as needed if you see it could still go down more.

It’s mostly a pretty wet zone, especially in the spring and fall. Needless to say, I’ve gotten my mower stuck in it a few times…

Thanks for the answer, I wasn’t sure which setting to adjust. I’ll start there!
