Be water wise...
• Deep soak your lawn weekly in the early morning or early evening when the least evaporation occurs • Give plants only the amount of water that they need • Use low-angle or pulsating sprinklers that produce large fat droplets of water • Set sprinklers to water the lawn, not sidewalks and driveways. • Adjust your lawn mower to a higher setting. A taller lawn shades roots and holds soil moisture better Planting • Add 2 to 4” of organic material, such as peat or compost, to the soil, adding mulch to your garden slows evaporation • Native & adaptive plants will use less water, be resistant to local plant diseases & pests
