With this hot, dry weather, it’s crucial to adjust your sprinklers and avoid overwatering your lawns and gardens. Remember, water should nurture your plants, not our sidewalks and streets! Overwatering not only wastes precious resources but also causes runoff that can carry pollutants into our local streams and waterways. Pro tips for smart watering:
• Water early in the morning or late in the evening to reduce evaporation.
• Use a timer to control the amount of water used.
• Use Cycle and Soak – deep but fewer watering cycles is best for healthy plants.
Let’s keep our environment clean and green!
