Factors That Mess With Your Watering

Proper watering is effected by many factors, you can do things the same way year to year and have dry spots in different areas. What do you do when run times or sprinklers haven’t changed but you’re getting different results from year to year?

It’s simple, there are more variables at work than just run times and sprinklers. Here is a list of causes that you need to adjust for, so when things don’t seem right look for these culprits and work down the list.

-Sun exposure.
-Wind exposure.
-Wind storms.
-Heat waves.
-Other nearby planting with roots absorbing water from the same area.
-Water being applied in neighbor’s yard that drains into yours.
-Sprinklers that overshoot.
-Clogged filters or sprinklers.
-Irrigation outages and drought restrictions.
-Reduced pressure.
-Soil type and how well it drains.
