Speaking to The U.S. Sun, he shared advice for a thriving green lawn.
HEALTHY HYDRATION Clifford revealed the best strategy for watering lawns during hot weather. “Sprinkle your lawn with water on an evening," he said. "This is important as if you water it mid-day you will find that the water will likely evaporate and your soil will not absorb it.
“I recommend reusing water wherever possible to avoid water wastage, this can be as simple as using water from your kids' swimming pool or even leftover cups of water. “To go the extra mile you can even install a water-butt to collect as much rainwater as possible.” Watering lawns regularly isn't the only factor to consider to keep grass healthy.
