Need help with a watering solution

6 years ago

Hey folks, I have been going nuts trying to find a solution to water my 3/4 acre lawn for my upcoming overseeding. I currently have only 2 taps that lead outside and as you can imagine, the pressure when they are both open is terrible. I really don't have the money for a pro sprinkler system so I'm hoping someone might have a suggestion for me.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Where do you live?

What kind of grass are you planning?

What size hose do you have? The answer is usually either 5/8th or 3/4s. And what lengths of hose? Diameter and length make a difference in flow as does pressure. I can have 4 outside hoses running and barely seed a pressure problem.

What kind of sprinkler(s) are you using?

Is there much shade where the grass is going? Pictures are nice.
