October 14, 2003 Weekly Water Savings Tip
Last Updated: 2003-10-15 15:28:31
During the past week the day temperatures have finally started to go down in relationship to the night temperatures. And the soil temperatures are ideal for the root growth of both warm and cool season grasses, as well as the shrubs and trees in our landscape. At this time, the shoots of the plants begin to slow down and their need for water corresponds by going down as well. The irrigation for this week is every 7 to 10 days.

During the past week the day temperatures have finally started to go down in relationship to the night temperatures. And the soil temperatures are ideal for the root growth of both warm and cool season grasses, as well as the shrubs and trees in our landscape. At this time, the shoots of the plants begin to slow down and their need for water corresponds by going down as well. The irrigation for this week is every 7 to 10 days. If you’ve been watering more frequently, try to add at least one day, or two, in between your irrigations. Get in the habit of checking your plants regularly and only apply water when needed.
It is still a great time to note changes that need to be made to the irrigation system to cover areas that have dry spots. During the off season make plans to correct the system. While waiting to fix the system use the hose to supplement the irrigation in those dry spot areas. And, again check and make sure your timers are set to the correct irrigation frequency. Remember, too much water stresses the plant just as much as too little.
The weekly water saving tip is provided to Washington County Water Conservancy District by Dr. Frank Williams, professor of the BYU Horticulture department. If you would like any more information please call me, Julie Breckenridge, at 673-3617.
