Watering Reminder - March 2019
The recommendations above are for plants that are established in the landscape (in the ground about two years). To determine how long (how many minutes or hours) to run your sprinklers and/or your drip irrigation, visit www.LandscapeWateringGuide.com . For a list of desert adapted plants, visit www.amwua.org/plants/ .
These recommendations are a general guideline only and may need to be modified for your specific site conditions. Make rain count—remember to turn off your irrigation and adjust your watering schedule when it rains. Guidelines developed by City of Mesa.
