Rising Temperatures and Landscape Watering
As the temperatures start to rise, we desert dwellers know the rule – hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Many of us also take this as a signal to give our plants more water, as well. Most homeowners actually overestimate the amount of water they need to program on their irrigation timers. On average, Arizonans use as much as two-thirds of their water outdoors. When the irrigation timer is set to water too much and too frequently, much of this water ends up being wasted, leading to high water bills and plants that actually die from over watering – not from heat. Take the “mystery” out of setting your irrigation timer by clicking here and requesting the LandscapeWatering by the Numbers brochure or by using the interactive watering guide at www.wateruseitwisely.com. |
