June 22nd – Irrigation Efficiency in Kansas Heat

Hi friends, Brinx here. I’ve been testing sprinkler zones firsthand. Very refreshing. Highly recommend standing directly in them.

June heat requires efficient irrigation systems to maintain healthy landscapes.

💧 Signs of Irrigation Problems

• Dry patches in turf

• Overspray onto pavement

• Uneven watering coverage

• Increased water bills

⚙️ Best Irrigation Practices

1. Water Early in the Morning
Reduces evaporation loss and improves absorption.

2. Adjust for Rainfall
Turn off or adjust systems after storms.

3. Zone Your System Properly
Different plant types require different watering schedules.

4. Inspect Regularly
Check for broken heads or leaks monthly.

Brinx’s Tip

If the driveway is greener than the lawn, we have a situation.

Why It Matters

Efficient irrigation improves plant health while reducing water waste during peak summer demand.
