Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Make your mom’s yard beautiful this Mother’s Day. Here are a few tips on how to create some nice looking stripes while mowing her lawn in Provo, Utah.

The key to creating good looking stripes is to bend the grass blades down in certain directions so the light catches it and creates the effect of the light and dark strips. To do this, you’ll need to have something attached to the back of your mower to matt down the grass as you mow.

1. Get a lawn striping kit or create your own using a pipe and zip ties.
1. Follow this video to create your own striping kit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcMD72YAv-I&t=8s
2. Make sure your grass is at a proper height.
1. The higher the grass, the more it can bend the grass over to catch the light. We recommend to stripe your grass at about 3 ½ inches tall.
3. Ensure your grass has a proper thickness.
1. In order to have defined stripes, your lawn needs to be about as thick as carpet.
4. Mow in straight lines.
1. Straight lines will dramatically increase the striping effect, so be sure to be careful as you create your stripes.

Watering

“In dry periods, water newly laid turf, freshly sown areas, and high-quality lawns. Leave established lawns unwatered, but stop mowing because longer grass helps protect the roots. The grass may turn brown, but will recover once it rains.”

“Water a new lawn every week in dry spells, until it is established. You can tell when fine lawns need watering because they lose their spring when walked on. Reduce water evaporation by using sprinklers early in the morning or at night. Move seep hoses by 8 inches every half hour.”

http://www.hgtv.com/gardening/how-to-care-for-your-lawn/index.html

Turn Off The Timer

Automatic irrigation systems have a controller or timer. Most controllers have a “rain” or “off” mode that shuts off the signals to the valves. Turning it “off” allows the controller to keep all the essential programming information stored in it. The only change is that the valves will not activate. If you unplug or cut the power to your controller, be aware that you may need to reprogram it in the spring.

To avoid overwatering on an allowed day, "you need to adjust your controller for multiple start times on ... one day." Restuccia said. "Water; let it soak in for an hour. Then, water again. ...

How much water do plants really need? That's probably the most common question asked during this current drought, say the experts, but also the most complicated.

"It all depends on plant type, if its location is in the sun or shade, what type of soil you have, if the property is sloped," Saare-Edmonds said.

That's why it's important to group plants with similar water needs.

Trees growing in a lawn are another issue," she said. "They're getting some water from the lawn (sprinklers), but they really need their own separate irrigation, less often but deeper."

Most water rules exempt drip irrigation. For example, Sacramento limits over-head irrigation (sprinklers) and hand-watering to two days a week. Residents with odd-numbered addresses may water Tuesdays and Saturdays; evens on Wednesdays and Sundays. Drip systems may be run any day.

"Drip systems need to be scheduled very differently," Saare-Edmonds said. "Sprinkler (run) times are measured in gallons per minute (GPM); drip systems run gallons per hour (GPH)."

Converting a sprinkler-based system to drip is easier than you may think. Even turf can be put on drip with grid systems installed under the sod.

Most important, drip systems put water where it's needed: at the roots.

"Instead of losing 35 to 40 percent (of water) to drift or evaporation, a drip system is 90 to 95 percent efficient," Troche said.

"Irrigation technology is getting better and better," Saare-Edmonds said. "There are a lot more options out there." Among those options are "smart" controllers. These take a lot of the guesswork out of deciding when to water.

"They're a little bit of money - usually around $500 - but they adjust water use on a daily basis, taking solar radiation, temperature, humidity and other factors into account," Restuccia said.

Other tools can be added to existing systems. Soil monitors (around $200) measure ground moisture and relay that information to the controller. Weather stations or rain sensors ($200 and up) shut off irrigation when it's not needed.

"I don't see many customers with rain sensors, but they're a good tool," Restuccia said.

These sensors help the controller do its job.

"It all comes back to the controller," Saare-Edmonds said. "It's the brain of your system. Use it."

Even if temperatures do not drop below freezing during the winter, it is important that homeowners reduce the watering times and frequency during cooler temperatures. Most plants and grasses adapt to cooler temperatures and shorter days by curtailing growth, or going dormant during the winter. Scaling back watering will result in happier, healthier plants when spring arrives.”
