At Sustainable Sprinkler we have been doing a lot of interesting things this month. We will be sending out multiple emails every month. We are excited about our new email campaign and we know that you will find valuable information.

Sustainable Sprinkler is now on Facebook. Please check out the page, follow and like. We will be posting at least three times a week about what we are doing within our communities, helpful information and quick updates. Please feel free to share our link with friends family and anyone that would be interested in what we do and our products.

PROTECT YOUR SOIL

Soil type, field slope, and flow rate all affect surface irrigation erosion, with flow rate being the main factor that can be managed. Ideally, sprinkler irrigation will have no runoff, but application rates on moving irrigation systems can exceed the soil infiltration rate, resulting in runoff and erosion

TOO MUCH WATER

Over watering a lawn is much worse for the grass and trees than under watering a lawn because a lawn that is watered too much will starve the soil of oxygen. Air is extremely important to the health of the soil and to promote deep digging grass roots. The soil underneath your sod is composed of sand, silt, and clay particles – as well as porous spaces. … Without oxygen, the roots of the sod will suffocate and die, leaving the plant with a very shallow root system.
