I just had my new lawn hydroseeded. I'm wondering what is the best way to water it. I live in the Northeast. I have 5 sprinklers (the kind that go in a circle or you can adjust to a partial circle). I run them for about 45 minutes in the morning. The ground gets damp, but there is no standing water.

My 3 neighbors also had theirs hydroseeded at the same time. The use oscillating sprinklers (like kids run through). They water and water and water until there is standing water all over the place. Then they leave huge foot prints in the mud because they have to move their sprinklers so much. They water in the morning and late at night.

What is the best way to water our new lawns? I'm not trying to say I'm right - I just want to know if I need to water more. I'm fairly confident that they are watering too much. Thanks in advance.
