Watch The Clock
Water
between 5 a.m. and 10 a.m.—when the sun is low, winds are calm and
temperatures are cool. Midday watering tends to be less efficient
because of water loss due to evaporation and windy conditions during the
day. Watering in the evening isn’t a good idea either because leaves
can remain wet overnight—an open invitation for fungus to grow. By
watering in the morning, you give the leaves a chance to dry out during
the day.
Adjust The System to the Season and Be Rain Smart
Adjust
your irrigation system as the seasons and weather change. You can also
install a shut-off device that automatically detects rain or moisture.
These devices are inexpensive and let you take advantage of nature’s
free watering service.
Water Only What Grows
if
you have an underground sprinkler system, make sure the heads are
adjusted properly to avoid watering sidewalks and driveways. A properly
adjusted sprinkler head should spray large droplets of water, not a fine
mist, to minimize evaporation and wind drift.
Consider Drip
When
it comes to watering individual trees, flowerbeds, potted containers or
other non-grassy areas, you can apply water directly to the roots with
low volume drip irrigation. This will reduce water waste through
evaporation or runoff and keep weeds from growing.
Do Routine Inspections
Periodically
check your sprinklers to make sure everything is working properly. A
clogged head or a torn line can wreak havoc on your landscape and water
bill.
Wrapping Up
An automatic underground sprinkler system can help you with all of these things, without making you have to uncoil the hose every time you need to water your lawn. It’s easy to install and even easier to operate, and can save you hours of work just in the first few months after installation.
