I will begin by saying that I am only about 4 months into my own program. But I wanted to address a recommendation that you will be getting from a lot on this board. You will be told to only water your lawn once a week. This works fine if you have been doing as such all along, or if you have barely watered to begin with. However, if your lawn is used to multiple waterings a week - as mine was - cutting back to once a week is a surefire way to burn it out. As with anything, take a moderate approach as you encourage your roots to grow deeper by less frequent waterings. But don't cut it off cold turkey.
