Making Every Drop of Water Count

It has been said that 50% of a homes water usage is for watering the lawn. How much water do you use? Compare your June, July and August water bills to the December, January and February water bills. Do you use a lot of water outside? There are numerous ways to reduce outside water usage and still maintain your beautiful landscaping and lawn. Lawn and plants take water from the soil and as long as the soil has enough water for both, there is no reason for the excess watering. The soil will lose water due to plant use, evaporation from temperature and wind and the water working its way deeper beyond the reach of plant roots. This is called Evapotransporation or ET.  Watering more than the ET is wasting water.
