🌤️ May 18th – Irrigation Systems: Are You Watering Efficiently?

Hey, Brinx here.
I’ve been observing sprinkler systems… very closely… sometimes directly in the spray.

With Kansas weather shifting between rain and heat, efficient irrigation is critical. A poorly designed system wastes water and harms your landscape.

💦 Signs Your Irrigation Needs Attention:

• Dry spots in certain areas

• Overspray onto sidewalks or driveways

• Water pooling in low spots

• High water bills

⚙️ Best Practices for May:

1. Adjust for Rainfall
Install or use rain sensors to prevent watering during storms.

2. Zone Your System
Different areas (grass, plants, trees) require different watering schedules.

3. Water Early Morning
Reduces evaporation and allows plants to absorb moisture effectively.

4. Inspect for Damage
Winter and early spring can cause cracked heads or leaks.

🌱 Pro Tip:

Smart irrigation controllers automatically adjust based on weather conditions—perfect for unpredictable Kansas springs.

Why it matters:
Efficient irrigation reduces waste, lowers costs, and promotes healthier plant growth.

I personally support any system that creates splash zones.
