DAY 50
WATER IN THE AM & PM
It is estimated that 30-50% of outdoor watering is wasted due to watering at the wrong times; save water and money by WATERING in the MORNING or in the EVENING.
About half of the drinking water in the Midwest comes from groundwater; by watering during cooler times, you reduce evaporation and increase the chances of water actually seeping down to help replenish groundwater.
Also, make sure you don’t water the sidewalk or driveway.
Challenge: Get a rain gauge or use an empty can to determine how much you need to water. You can also poke the ground or step on the grass, if it's soft or springs back you don't need to water.
