That&#8217;s a myth! It&#8217;s actually pretty easy when you follow these tips. We&#8217;ll show you simple ways to cut down on water use in your yard, helping the environment and making your home more sustainable.<\/span>\\\\n<\/p>\n<ul>\\\\n \\\\t<\/p>\n<li><b>Consider a Smart Controller<\/b><\/li>\n<p>\\\\n<\/ul>\n<p>\\\\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A smart controller can really help save water in your garden. This weather-based irrigation controller can boost watering efficiency by up to 40%. You&#8217;ll see your money back in just a few years.<\/span>\\\\n<\/p>\n<ul>\\\\n \\\\t<\/p>\n<li><b>Choose an Automatic Rain Shutoff Device<\/b><\/li>\n<p>\\\\n<\/ul>\n<p>\\\\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Install this affordable device on your irrigation system. It tells your system to stop watering when there&#8217;s enough rain. This stops overwatering and can save you enough water to pay for itself in one season.<\/span>\\\\n<\/p>\n<ul>\\\\n \\\\t<\/p>\n<li><b>Get Rid of the Leaks<\/b><\/li>\n<p>\\\\n<\/ul>\n<p>\\\\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you&#8217;re serious about saving water, you need to check for leaks. Leaks cost you money with higher water bills and waste water our planet can&#8217;t afford to lose. Hire an expert to find any leaks in your garden every few months.<\/span>\\\\n<\/p>\n<ul>\\\\n \\\\t<\/p>\n<li><b>Pick Water Efficient Emitters<\/b><\/li>\n<p>\\\\n<\/ul>\n<p>\\\\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Emitter technology has come a long way. If your emitters are old, it&#8217;s time for an upgrade. Choose water-efficient emitters that save water daily. Ask a local irrigation expert to help you find efficient options that fit your budget.<\/span>\\\\n<\/p>\n<ul>\\\\n \\\\t<\/p>\n<li><b>Purchase Plants Smartly<\/b><\/li>\n<p>\\\\n<\/ul>\n<p>\\\\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When adding new plants, go for drought-tolerant varieties like yarrow, sage, and white fir. They do well even with little water and can significantly reduce your garden&#8217;s water needs.<\/span>\\\\n<\/p>\n<ul>\\\\n \\\\t<\/p>\n<li><b>Go for a Rain Barrel<\/b><\/li>\n<p>\\\\n<\/ul>\n<p>\\\\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many city and even groundwater sources contain chemicals and salts that aren&#8217;t good for plants. If you&#8217;re dealing with those, install an inexpensive rain barrel to collect water.<\/span>\\\\n<\/p>\n<ul>\\\\n \\\\t<\/p>\n<li><b>Try a New Mulching Technique<\/b><\/li>\n<p>\\\\n<\/ul>\n<p>\\\\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you mulch, add a thick layer. This helps keep the soil moist and the root zone cool. Choose organic mulches like shredded bark and wood chips; they&#8217;ll add good stuff to your soil over time.<\/span>\\\\n<\/p>\n<ul>\\\\n \\\\t<\/p>\n<li><b>Mow Correctly<\/b><\/li>\n<p>\\\\n<\/ul>\n<p>\\\\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It&#8217;s smart to mow high, keeping your grass at the upper recommended limit. This shades the soil and minimizes evaporation.<\/span>\\\\n<\/p>\n<ul>\\\\n \\\\t<\/p>\n<li><b>Water Right<\/b><\/li>\n<p>\\\\n<\/ul>\n<p>\\\\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you water your garden or yard, make sure you&#8217;re watering the soil, not the leaves. Watering at the root zone cuts down on evaporation and waste. Plus, avoiding wet leaves helps prevent fungal diseases and sunscald. Want healthier plants? Invest in a professionally-designed irrigation system.<\/span>\\\\n<\/p>\n<ul>\\\\n \\\\t<\/p>\n<li><b>Never Overwater<\/b><\/li>\n<p>\\\\n<\/ul>\n<p>\\\\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You love your plants, but don&#8217;t overwater them. It wastes a lot of water and harms most plants. Too much water in the soil stresses root systems, often leading to root rot or fungal and bacterial diseases.<\/span>\\\\n<\/p>\n<ul>\\\\n \\\\t<\/p>\n<li><b>Use Pure Water<\/b><\/li>\n<p>\\\\n<\/ul>\n<p>\\\\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For your plants, trees, and everything else in your yard to truly thrive, you should use pure, contamination-free water.
