Well it wasn’t the typically wet October we usually get, and it was a bit on the warmer side. Rain and even cooler temperatures are in the forecast however. With the exception of the new sod and plant areas, which I will be running a 1 day per week program, I will begin turning off the irrigation to the common areas. Remember that overwatering the landscape this time of year is an invitation for molds and fungus to take hold and damage valuable plant material and turf.
This weekend is the time change. Don’t forget to adjust your clocks, including the irrigation controller, or be prepared for the imminent social awkwardness.
If you need help setting up your
controller, or would like a complete and thorough evaluation of your irrigation
system, send an email to WaterMatters@SCTexas.org , or contact your Neighborhood
Representative. A Water Matters Ambassador will come to your home to assist
you.
