Ive heard and done this , my neighbor who is a former golf course groundskeeper say they did this every day at the hottest point of the day , nice to see you Rob lawn looks amazing .
I have noticed some dry spots in my lawn I’m going to start back watering in the evening I stopped so I’m back on it thanks again for sharing Turf 💪🏾💪🏾.
In short, Hydretain is designed for lawns and Dawn is designed for dishes and cleaning wildlife after oil spills. Also Hydretain is not a traditional wetting agent so to speak. It’s forms a film around the roots that is able to bring moisture into the root zone from lower depths that wouldn’t usually be available to them. Dawn dish soap acts as a surfactant that breaks the tension surface and increases water permeability but I repeat is not labeled or designed for lawns therefore could have some undesired effects long term. Hope this helps.
5 to 10 minutes is a lot for irrigation syringing. I prefer 1 to 2 minutes…. Only looking to moisture the leaf blade… not underneath the canopy. More looking to moisten just the tip. 🌱 🌱
