For many years I watched my landscape wilt under a sweltering summer sun. Then I would pull out the hoses and drag them around the garden, setting up sprinklers, often soaking myself, breaking plants, and hating the process all the while. One time I forgot to turn off a sprinkler and flooded my terrace.
Here in the Mid-Atlantic region, summer drought is a commonplace occurrence. Brown lawns and suffering plants are the obvious results. What may be less obvious is that the stress reduces the landscape’s ability to fight off insects and diseases. Excessive drying stunt’s growth and flowering. Patches of lawn may actually burn out and die from an extended lack of moisture and high temperatures.
I finally had an automatic irrigation system installed. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made for keeping my landscape green and healthy. No more dragging hoses and adjusting sprinklers. Now, while I sleep, the garden receives exactly the correct amount of water needed for optimum health and growth. And I find my water bills are actually lower because the system is calibrated to apply the correct amount of water…and there is no forgetting to turn the water off. I can go on vacation with peace-of-mind, knowing that my irrigation system will keep my garden healthy, no matter what the weather.
