Efficient Rainwater Irrigation Systems
Saturday, June 23, 9:00am - 3:00pm
Developing a well managed irrigation system that meets - not exceeds - the needs of your landscape is integral to efficiently using your water supply. Learn how to minimize your time and water bill by eliminating runoff, evaporation, and creating a watering schedule that is appropriate for your plants and soil. This is an excellent follow-up class to the Rainwater Catchment for Your Home. The water source we will be using in this hands-on in-the-garden demonstration workshop will be a gravity-fed rainwater drip irrigation system.
