🌞💦 Summer Watering Tips for WA Gardens! 💦🌿

As the heat intensifies, your lawns and gardens need extra care! Did you know that a minimum of 10mm irrigation twice a week is crucial for their survival in the scorching WA summer?

🚿💧 However, not all sprinklers are created equal! Different types emit the same amount of water over varying time frames. For instance, a pop-up requires less time than a low precipitation rate rotary/gear-drive sprinkler.

To ensure your green spaces thrive, it’s crucial to set run times appropriate to the sprinkler type on each station. 🕰️🌱 Your lawn and plants depend on receiving the minimum required water, or they might not make it through the heat!

Check out our “Sprinkler Watering Run Times” for suggested watering schedules based on your sprinkler type. Click HERE: bit.ly/3aEkqsy
