Here are some green summer watering tips to help make the lawn green and save money.
- Make a rain barrel and connect it to a downspout.
- Use a soaker hose instead of sprinklers to minimize evaporation.
- Nozzles help reduce water waste by controlling water flow.
- Mulch the landscape. Mulch keeps weeds from growing and helps retain moisture.
- Landscape with drought-tolerant plants.
- Hydrate plants with grey water - water recycled from doing laundry and washing the dishes.
- Water during cooler hours of the day to minimize evaporation.
- When mowing, keep grass blades long. This promotes a more resilient lawn that fares better during dry times.
To calculate personal water usage, check out this the H2O Conserve Water Calculator.

I've posted about this before, but it is worth posting again. Capture the water from your AC condensate line. I get around 8-10 gallons per day from that during the hot months.
