  • One very simple mistake by many novice gardeners is they set their sprinkler system to one time and setting, then forget about it for the whole summer. In many areas, the temperature and precipitation levels fluctuate considerably during summer. Sticking to one setting means that at best you will be overwatering at the start of summer, under watering during the driest time, and overwatering again towards the end. For efficient use of water and best results, change the settings of your sprinkler system to suit the conditions at least once per month.

If droughts frequently hit your area, it may be worth considering investing in high-efficiency water spray nozzles and switching over to drip irrigation systems for tree and shrub areas.

Dried up grass and browning plants can be caused by several reasons. You may need to adjust the setting of your irrigations system.
