SMART SUMMER GARDEN
IRRIGATION TIPS
(Family Features)
Every garden has unique needs based on plant
type, soil composition, local climate and more.
Understanding these factors is the fi rst step in
creating an effective irrigation plan.
For instance, certain plants, like succulents, require
less water and thrive in drier conditions while others,
like vegetables and fl owering plants, may need more
frequent watering. By assessing your garden's specifi c
conditions, you can tailor your irrigation practices to
keep your garden thriving during the hottest months.
Choose the Right Irrigation System
Selecting an appropriate system is essential for effi -
cient water use and a healthy lawn and garden. Most
homeowners choose
from one of three
simple options. Ideal
for gardens with diverse
plant types, drip
irrigation systems
deliver water directly
to the roots of plants,
minimizing evaporation
and runoff.

Sprinkler systems, on the other hand, are better suited
for larger lawns and can cover extensive areas quickly.
For those looking for a balance between effi ciency and
coverage, soaker hoses offer a slow, steady water supply
that reduces water waste.
Schedule Watering for Optimal Results
When it comes to watering your garden, timing is crucial.
The best times to water are early in the morning
or late in the evening when temperatures are cooler
and evaporation rates are lower, ensuring more water
reaches the plant roots.
Remember to also consider the frequency and duration
of watering sessions. Over watering can lead to
waterlogged soil and root diseases while underwatering
can stress plants, making them more susceptible to
pests and diseases.
Monitor and Adjust Your Plan
Check for signs of over watering or under watering,
such as wilting, yellowing leaves or dry soil. Adjust your
irrigation schedule and system settings based on these
observations and changing weather conditions.
Smart irrigation controllers and soil moisture sensors
can automate watering schedules and adjust them based
on real-time data, helping conserve water and ensure
your garden thrives throughout the summer months.
