>> THEY OPENED A NEW EVENT
CENTER AND HEADQUARTERED AND
LIKE MANY NEW LANDSCAPES, WE'RE
DEALING WITH VERY COMPACTED
SOIL.
SO THIS SUMMER WATERING IS QUITE
A CHALLENGE.
NOW IN THE PAST WE WOULD USE THE
SCREWDRIVER METHOD AND TRY TO
PUSH IT INTO THE GROUND AND SEE
HOW DEEP IT GOES AND WE'VE
LEARNED RIGHT NOW THAT IT'S
GOING AS ABOUT AS DEEP AS THE
SOD IS BEFORE IT HITS THE
COMPACTED SOIL.
ALSO WE WOULD USE THE OLD
FASHIONED WATER METER.
I CAN PUSH THIS IN JUST ENOUGH
AND WILL REGISTER IT'S PRETTY
WET.
UNFORTUNATELY TO THE DEPTH OF
THE SOD.
WE ALSO WHEN WE WATER WE USE
WATERING TIMERS SO WE KNOW WE'RE
NOT RUNNING THE WATER.
BUT NOWADAYS WE CAN GET TECH
SAVVY AND CAN BE AS EASY AS
TOUCHING A BUTTON AND YOU CAN
ACROSS THE WORLD AND CONTROL
YOUR IRRIGATION SYSTEM.
THESE SYSTEMS ARE TERRIFIC AND
THEY CAN BE PROGRAMMED INTO YOUR
EXISTING AUTOMATIC IRRIGATION
SYSTEM OR IF YOU WATER MANUALLY
LIKE WE DO HERE, YOU CAN MANAGE
HOSES EVEN MULTIPLE HOSES AT ONE
TIME.
THESE SYSTEM MONITOR THE WEATHER
SOME OF THEM MONITOR THE SOIL
MOISTURE AND SOME WILL TELL YOU
WHEN YOU NEED MORE WATER OR IF
YOU DON'T NEED TO WATER AT ALL.
THEY'RE PHENOMENAL TO BE ABLE TO
BE ON YOUR PROPERTY WHEN YOU
CAN'T BE.
GIVE THEM A TRY.
WE ALL NEED TO BE MORE WATER
WISE BECAUSE WE ALL NEED TO
CONSERVE THIS VERY PRECIOUS
RESOURCE OF OURS, WATER.
