Vegetable gardens.
Exposure to the sun, heat, and wind plays has a major effect on water requirements in your garden. For example, garden areas in the shade may have lower irrigation needs than those where the sun shines all day. Also, big trees with large “drink” a lot of water so you have to be careful to give you garden more water to make up for this.
Drip Irrigation – Sprinkler Heads
Drip irrigation is ideal for vegetable gardens and may event reduce water usage by 50 percent. By comparison, sprinklers provide an uniform amount of water over your garden area. To keep all your garden in the green and avoid those ugly brown spots, what can you do??? Use a sprinkler that has sprinkler head layout that gives uniform coverage across your garden.
Check for sprinkler heads that slightly overlap each other on the green area, not on the road or your neighbor’s car (even though it needs a wash). And another no - no are sprinkler heads spray from the center of the lawn area out onto the sidewalk.
