Water Saving Tip #1

It's getting hot!!! And hot means our plants need more water. So what will you do this summer to save water (and money)?

Our lawns are one of the main consumers of this precious resource, but how can we water it less and keep it green?

One simple way is as easy as mowing our lawns. Most of us bag our clippings and throw them away. Stop! If you leave the grass clippings on your lawn not only will you save water, but you'll also save money on fertilizer! The lawn clippings will break down and return their nutrients to the soil, thus feeding your grass.

Another thing you'll save is time by not having to collect and dispose of the grass.

So leaving your grass clippings on your lawn is all around a good thing! You'll save time, money, and water!
