Fun Water Fact- In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistane for hunger.
Indoor Water Conservation Tip- Be Aware! Just being aware of your water consumption will reduce overall consumption. We typically use much more than we really need for typical tasks because we are not conscientious about our own behaviors concerning water. This is especially true with landscape water uses.
Outdoor Water Conservation Tips-Adjust your watering schedule each month to match the seasonal weather conditions and landscape needs.
Water your lawn areas separate from garden and bed areas. Flower beds, trees, shrubs have different water requirements and by separating them and watering appropriately, you will save water and you will have more healthy plants.
Visit the Learning Garden for ideas and to learn how to have colorful and lush landscapes while reducing your water needs and being more efficient with lawn watering. Also, sign up for a free landscape water check if you are having difficulty knowing how long and how often to water.
