============================================

Begin using the 3-day guide for Bermudagrass lawns at
http://ag.arizona.edu/AZMET/data/00plawn.htm
This information can also be found on the weather page of valley newspapers.
For example, today's recommendation is 0.66 inches (about 11/16 ").  Then
use the procedure described at
http://ag.arizona.edu/azmet/phx/lawnstep.htm
to fine-tune for your lawn.
