Hold On to Those Rainy Day Savings

When it comes to watering the yard, you may be able to save yourself some green without your lawn turning brown. How much should you be watering during the cool season? Not much! As a matter of fact, shut off the system and only turn it on if the garden has gone without rain for more than two weeks. Remember no watering during rain or 48 hours after rainfall.

Harvesting Rainwater with Rain Barrels s another way to save this season.
