Watering a Lawn

This is often carried out during the summer and when rain hasn't fallen for some time during the growing season. The main reason typically given by lawn owners for watering their lawns is for them to be kept green. This is not the best agronomic reason why they should be watered.

  Watering Can

A handheld container, with a spout, and a typical maximum capacity of about 20 litres. It is ideal for the watering of small areas of turf, especially those that have been repaired or divoted.

Any material which can be used to control weeds by killing them.

  Wheel to Wheel Transfer

An item of equipment which is used for marking out using white liquid paint, or similar, material. The liquid material is held within a container in which a wheel rotates as the marker is pushed forward. This internal wheel picks up the liquid material and typically transfers it onto a dimple roller which then transfers it onto a front wheel roller which then makes the line. The process is known as Wheel Transfer.
