With spring around the corner, it’s time to startplanning for changes to your landscapewatering. Here’s a guide to help you determinehow much water your landscape needs.

To check that your plants are getting the rightamount of water, use a soil moisture meter or along screw driver to test the soil. A soil moisturemeter has a scale that tells how dry or wet the soilis. If you don’t have a soil moisture meter, you canuse a long screwdriver and plunge it into the soil toensure the moisture is 6 – 10 inches deep. This willhelp to ensure the plants aren’t overwatered.

Wipes Clog. What NOT to Flush“Flushable Wipes” should NOT be flushed downtoilets. Even though these wipes may be labeled as“flushable” and are advertised to be “just like toiletpaper,” they actually cannot disintegrate in the sewersystems and can cause major blockages! 

Since these wipes do not disintegrate easily orquickly, flushing them is like flushing a handkerchiefor other item made of cloth. 

Please partner with us and avoid flushing any type ofwipe, “flushable” or otherwise, down the toilet. If youmust use wipes, put them in the trash, not in thetoilet.
