Hi
friends! Did you know July is Smart Irrigation Month? Smart Irrigation Month
was founded by the Irrigation Association® in 2005 and advocates for water-use efficiency
through effective irrigation practices.Smart
irrigation practices include adjusting sprinkler nozzles so that they hit the
desired area, upgrading your irrigation controller to a weather-based
controller, repairing leaks, planting California natives, using mulch instead
of grass, and even grouping your plants by similar watering needs (also known
as hydrozoning).
Smart
irrigation is not only easy, it’s extremely important! Why? Water is a very
precious, limited resource. Especially during California’s current season of
drought, saving water wherever and whenever we can is essential. However, smart
irrigation techniques will benefit your garden as well! Did you know most
plants tend to die due to overwatering, not underwatering? With these
techniques in place, you’ll ensure your garden and lawn are healthy and
thriving.That’s all I have for today friends. Keep up the great,
water-saving work and I’ll see you again soon with my next drop of water
wisdom!
Your friend,
Wally
