Lawn care during drought is a difficult thing! Aft

Lawn care during drought is a difficult thing! Afterall, reduced watering causes even the healthiest of lawns to yellow and go dormant.
Right now, to help preserve water supplies, we all should be watering lawns less. Yellow is the new green!

According to Utah State Slow the Flow (https://slowtheflow.org/tools-and-resources/) 2 times per week 20 minutes per pop-up zone and 40 minutes per rotor zone, to be exact.

Is there anything you can do to help reduce an already stressed lawn?

Yes!!!

Apply Humate! Humate or humic acid is a great soil conditioner with a strong, natural fertilizer, good bacterias, and you guessed it, a water retention component that helps retain up to 7 times the amount of water in soil. Spread humate on your lawn for healthier, greener results during times of drought/stress and always, for that matter!

Utah is a semi-arid state and its water future is

Utah is a semi-arid state and its water future is one of the most significant challenges facing us today. Making it more important then ever is to embrace gardening in the “spirit of place”.

Currently 60% of Utah residential water use is used for outdoor irrigation. We can change that!

Water-wise landscapes are created to use as little irrigation as possible and to use that water as efficiently as possible. This can be done by designing landscapes with the correct plants; amending and improving soil so it retains moisture better and longer; grouping plants with similar water requirements together to most efficiently use irrigation water (also known as hydrozoning); and mulching around plants and in garden beds to hold moisture around plant roots.

Here @shadehomeandgarden we are invested in helping our growing community be water smart.

We can show you how to grow the right plants in the right place, ‘Flip your Strip’, and plant beneficial trees. #treesaretheanswer
