Smoky skies can affect more than the air—they can affect your lawn, too.
Extended periods of smoke reduce sunlight, which means your lawn and soil may not dry out as quickly between watering cycles. When moisture sticks around too long, it can create conditions for fungus to develop.
🌱 Quick lawn check: About 4–6 hours after your irrigation finishes, feel the soil. If it’s still damp, your lawn may not need as much water while smoky conditions continue.
Giving your soil time to dry between watering cycles can help reduce the risk of fungus and keep your lawn healthier.
Noticing yellow spots or suspicious areas in your turf? They could be signs of a fungal issue. The Red Moose team has solutions available and would be happy to help. 🫎
