Watering Tips & Restrictions 

     

Over watering is a big problem for Florida lawns. Residents often over water thinking - the more water the lawn gets the greener it gets. WRONG!  Providing too much water to your turf grass will cause it to have a shallow root system. This is when the roots are only a few inches under the soil. The favorable depth should be around a foot. Over watering will also increase the likelihood of weeds, disease like brown patch disease (rhizoctonia brown patch), and insects.

 

University of Florida scientists recently conducted a study to see what would happen if automated irrigation systems were monitored to work more in sync with nature. Homeowners whose irrigation timers were reset monthly slashed water use up to 30 percent compared with homes that just let the systems run on previous settings. That's enough to fill six swimming pools each year!

 

Generally, turfgrasses require no more than an average 0f 0.3 inches of water per day. Under extreme summer conditions, water use can be as high as 0.4 inches of water per day.   If rainfall occurs, irrigation should be suspended according to the rainfall amount.

Tell your boss what you really think about him and the truth shall set you free.

If you think your boss is stupid - just remember; you wouldn't have a job if he was smarter.

I learned that we can do anything, but we can't do everything, at least not at the same time. So think of your priorities not in terms of what activities you do, but when you do them. Timing is everything.
