Adjust Your Timer Settings For Fall! 🌱🚿
As autumn brings shifting weather, it's essential to adapt your timer settings accordingly. With the days growing shorter and cooler, your plants' water requirements diminish. To prevent overwatering and potential problems like root rot, remember to reduce your timer settings.

Avoid High-Pressure Misting in Your Irrigation System! 🚿
Sprinkler misting refers to a condition where a sprinkler system emits water in a fine mist rather than the intended larger droplets. This can be problematic because misting water is more susceptible to being carried away by wind, leading to uneven watering. It can also result in wasted water, increased water costs, and poor water coverage for plants.
The primary reason for sprinkler misting is usually excessive water pressure.
🚨How to Check Pressure:
1. Pressure Gauge: Connect to a hose bib or sprinkler outlet to measure psi. See product we use in video.
2. Visual Inspection: Look for misting or "fogging" from the sprinklers.
3. Manufacturer Specifications: Compare system's pressure to recommended levels.
4. Evaluate System Performance: Spot uneven watering or overly wet areas.

Managing Aphids on Trees and Plants! 🌱
Aphids are tiny insects that feed on tree sap, leading to leaf distortion and yellowing. They also excrete sticky honeydew, which can cause sooty mold.
Treatments for Trees:
Natural Predators: Attract ladybugs and lacewings.
Insecticidal Soap: Direct spray can deter aphids.
Neem Oil: Acts as a repellent.
Water Sprays: Forcefully spray trees to dislodge aphids.
Pruning: Cut off heavily infested branches.
Prioritize environmentally-friendly treatments and monitor tree health.

Choosing Green: Drought-Tolerant Yard vs. Xeriscaping 🌱
Drought-Tolerant Yard:
- Uses plants adapted to low-water conditions.
- Mainly centered on plant selection.
- May require occasional watering.
Xeriscaping:
- Comprehensive landscaping for dry climates.
- Encompasses soil prep, mulching, gravel, irrigation, and plant selection.
- Designed to be low-maintenance with maximum water conservation.
While drought-tolerant yards focus on the plants, xeriscaping takes a holistic approach to conserve water throughout the landscape.
