Cut, Don't Run

Pools, sprinklers, hoses - there are many ways to use water outdoors in the summertime, and there are also countless and easy ways to conserve it. Check out the follwing tips for developing good H20 habits:

• Water your lawn only when necessary; if you leave footprints when you walk across it, it's time to water (usually once every three days).
• Minimize evaporation by watering your lawn during the early morning hours,when temperatures are cooler and winds are lighter.
• Divide your watering cycle into shorter periods to reduce unoff and allow for better absorption.
• Periodically check your pool for leaks if you have an automatic refilling device.
• Weed your lawn and garden regularly; weeds compete with other plants for nutrients, light and water. for more info contact me at findit@LehighValleyRealty.com
