Irrigation Methods
- Use drip irrigation where possible.
- Place trees on a separate valve with soakers or bubblers to allow for deep, infrequent watering.
- Hydrozone: group plants together that have the same water needs.
- Install MP Rotator nozzles to improve efficiency when watering lawns.
- Use a timer with a weather sensor to water only when needed.
- Mulch with a 3” layer to reduce evaporation up to 70% and to control weeds.
