Try these ideas to use less water in your landscape
- Raise the mowing height to the mower’s highest setting.
- Only water when the lawn needs it – Turn off the Automatic Watering
- Add a day or more between waterings. If you water every other day, change to every 3rd or 4th day. Do NOT reduce the watering time – water needs to reach the root zone.
- Use ‘catch cans’ to measure the amount of water your system uses
- Use a screwdriver to see how deep the water goes into the soil 1 hour after a watering
- Water late in the evening or early morning. Complete watering before the sun comes up.
- Use ‘Water-Cycling’ *see article
- Cover bare soil with a thick layer of mulch
- Use a broom or a blower to clean sidewalks
- Found a dry spot? Spot water instead of running the entire system.
- Adjust sprinklers to avoid watering sidewalks and roads
