Basic Rosamond Watering Information

What Time of Day Should I Water?

In Rosamond, we recommend watering between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. Watering within this window of time takes advantage of relatively low winds and less loss of water to evaporation.

How Long Should I Water?

Generally, because of our clay soils, running an irrigation system on a lawn for more than five minutes will result in runoff. Precise watering times vary depending on the type of watering device, soil, slope and plants.

In Rosamond, water in the early morning hours between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. as follows:

SUMMER
