Posted by Joe By watering at the end of the day you are increasing the amount of time the grass stays wet. Sounds like a good idea after a hot dry day but it is a very bad thing to do. Water as close to daybreak as possible to keep leaf wetness under 10 hours and you turf will thank you for havng done so. Of course, spot watering during the day to relieve heat stress is still a good idea if done right. But that is a another subject. Joe

Do not water at dusk! This is not the answer to your fringe problem but changing your watering times will certainly keep you from having others.
