Save Water

It is spring so we feel comfortable that water is plentiful, but what will happen in July and August when it could be a bit like a drought?

We found some tips to save water that you can apply to your garden.

Use landscape factory to keep the weeds out and from using up the water.
Put a quick release on your hose to change between sprinkler options
Mulch can slow down the evaporation of water.
Have taller grass and mow less often. Taller grass has deeper roots, less space for weeds to grow, and needs less water.
Use a rain gauge to make sure your water sprinkler system is watering enough.
Set a timer on your hose to keep from over watering. Have it turn off and let the water set, then have it turn on again.
Try drip irrigation
Use a rain barrel to collect water.
Plant drought tolerant plants.
Adjust sprinklers to water the lawn and not the driveway.
Water in the early morning to avoid evaporation.
