Efficiently Irrigating Your Lawn

 Irrigation is an important component of planning your

landscape. That is because it plays a crucial role in the

overall function of your landscape.

Irrigation brings water to your plants and without it, your

plants will die and the time and energy you invested on

building your landscape will be put to waste.

There are several considerations when irrigating your

landscape. Below is a list of some of them.

1. Find a water source that’s efficient as possible.

Regardless of the size of your lawn, you will need to water

it regularly in order for the plants to survive.

You must therefore find a cost-efficient way to do it. You

don’t even have to use sprinklers all the time. What you

can do, for example, is direct rain water from your roof to

your lawn.

2. Check your equipment for damage. If the pieces of

equipment that you use for irrigation is defective, you

waste water and money for something that cannot do its job

well anyway.

So regularly check your hoses, sprinklers and other water

equipment for damage because you can save a lot of money by

doing this. As a rule of thumb, immediately change whatever

broken equipment that you have in your garden.

3. Do your watering early in the day - this method is

another cost-saver because by watering your plants early in

the day, the water doesn’t evaporate easily. This ensures

you that you are using your resources well and that nothing

goes to waste.
