Self-tutoring about watering: the tutor reflects….<\/h1>\n

I can’t remember when summer 2018 started (see my post here<\/a> about when summer starts); irrigation is in full swing. (I began about this year’s watering efforts in the post here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

I’m no pro at watering, but I’ve observed a few helpful hints:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. When working with several sprinklers, turn off the one in a sensitive area (eg, near the sidewalk) first. If you turn off another one instead, the one near the sidewalk may then receive more water, and spill beyond the yard.\n<\/li>\n
  2. I typically water one spot for, at most, around 30 minutes. I suspect once it’s soaked, the rest of the water probably doesn’t help; rather, it may just leach out nutrients to runoff.\n<\/li>\n
  3. \nSingle plants or bushes that need water but are outside of the main sprinkling areas, I do with a watering can. I don’t sprinkle the whole yard, just main areas.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Best of luck with your yard:)<\/p>\n
