#TipOfTheWeek
Use a timer or controller on your irrigation system to avoid overwatering. These can also be connected to a rain sensor to turn off when it rains; a smart controller can do this as well, using local weather to help moderate your watering schedule automatically.

#TipOfTheWeek
Practice the “Cycle and Soak” method of watering for clay soils to help prevent runoff. Split your watering times in half and run your irrigation twice, separating the two sessions by at least an hour.

The soil becomes more permeable to water on the second watering session, which sends the water deeper instead of running off and being wasted.

#TipOfTheWeek
Encourage deep watering by allowing water to penetrate 6-8" into the soil. To do this, use the "Cycle and Soak" watering method: Split your watering times in half and run your irrigation system twice, separating the two sessions by at least an hour.
The soil becomes more permeable to water on the second watering session, which sends the water deeper, and the plant`s roots with it.
