Proper water use

"There are a number of ways to save water in your landscape, and
there are some very good reasons to do so. Over half of household
water—in some cases as much as three-quarters—goes into our
landscapes. That means watering your yard efficiently is one of the
best and easiest ways to save water. Proper watering will also keep
your landscape plants healthy and beautiful through the year.
With a little help from this booklet you can figure out most of
your landscape watering needs on a weekend morning".

Preaching about water use.  I guess it is the move to the desert that has prompted me to really think about how much water is wasted every day and where our water comes from.  When using IPM in the landscape, proper watering is crucial to achieve positive results (limiting weeds, disease, rot...).  Please follow the link below for a pdf copy of how to determine how much water you need in your landscape.
