			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://2086506.sites.myregisteredsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/7.jpeg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-132" title="Watering lawn" src="http://2086506.sites.myregisteredsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/7.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>Look for early signs of wilt and dehydration to determine if your lawn is getting enough water.  Browning and curling grass blades are good indicators.  Another early indicator of a dry lawn is when your footprints remain on the lawn after walking through.  Dry grass won&#8217;t stand back up as quickly, this means your turf needs more water.</p>
<p>Turfgrass needs about an inch of water per week.  You can measure the amount of water your are getting with a readily available rain gauge.  Supplement any natural rain fall with watering in the early morning when the losses from evaporation are at the lowest rate.  Try to avoid watering during the middle of the day, as most of the water will evaporate, not reaching the roots of the grass where it is needed.  Proper watering will ensure your grass stays green all summer long, while reducing run off, possible turf diseases, excessive growth, and excessive water waste.</p>
<p>Lawns that receive little or no irrigation during the summer months will go dormant.  Grass color will lighten or go brown, however most turf will recover when water returns.  During a severe drought, some turf may die, requiring an over-seed application in the early fall.</p>

<p>-Any tree or shrub planted less that 12 months ago will be more susceptible to dry conditions and should be monitored for drought stress.  These plants will need more water than the more established plant material.  Try to give them at least an inch of water a week, spread out between 2 or 3 watering cycles.</p>

The very nature of their growing season means that they do not have an established root system to survive without adequate rain fall. Annuals should be watered every other day throughout the summer in order to thrive and consistently bloom. Again, aim for about an inch of water a week. A good annual fertilizer will also help them reach full potential. A properly irrigated and fertilized annual bed will really make your property look good.</p>
