I love it when it rains because it waters the yard and the gardens (saves my back). I hate it when it rains because the grass grows a lot faster and I have to mow twice as often. It's really coming down today!
There's nothing I like more then a good thunderstorm with low, dark, fast moving clouds!:thumbsup: HOOYAH!
Our city just approved an increase in our water bills by 18%. :thumbdown: Consequently I am hoping to water less this year. My dad taught me that if you wait until it looks like it needs water, you are to late. Does anyone have any experience using a moisture meter? Any feedback appreciated.
Here in FL, I have seen a product called Ecologel. It helps the soil retain moisture. I know some golf courses use it. Seen it in Lowe's as a test item, not sure if they ended up with it or not. Website is Ecologel Solutions, LLC. Environmentally responsible solutions for water conservation, dust control, drought, liquid nutrients, algae control and pond maintenance. , I met the inventor at Lowe's, very nice guy.
Not sure if it would save money in your water bill or not. Worth a check.
