How to keep your garden growing in times of drought
ARA
Some blame it on El Nino,
'others on La Nina. No
matter what the cause, the
majority of the states in our
Union are likely to experi
ence the driest summer on
record.
The National Weather
Service is predicting record
high temperatures and
drought conditions will
prevail across parts of the
Midwest, the Southwest, the
Mid-Atlantic and the South.
With conditions so dry, it’s
important for everyone to
practice good water manage
ment practices.
Among the things the U.S.
Department of Agriculture
recommends we do:
* Water plants during the
coolest part of the day - early
in the morning or in the late
afternoon. Watering dur
ing the heat of the day can
actually cause plants to bum
and is also highly inefficient
as up to 90 percent of the
water can be lost through
evaporation.
* Water the lawn only when
needed. If grass springs
back after walking on it, it
doesn’t need watering.
* Set sprinklers to water
the lawn or garden and not

* Use micro sprinklers
and drip irrigation sys
tems (which mimic rainfall)
instead of hand watering
in gardens and flowerbeds.
They can reduce water use
by 20 to 50 percent.
Drip irrigation is noth
ing new to Susie Thayer,
an expert in landscape irri
gation from Dundee, Fla.
It has been the primary
method of irrigation at her
family’s citrus groves and
nursery for decades.
Realizing it would also be
useful for ornamental nurs
eries, commercial landscap
ers and even home gardeners,
the Thayers began manufac
turing this method for other
commercial growers in 1980
under the Maxijet brand. In
1991, it became available to
consumers under the Mister
Landscaper name.
There are currently two
Mister Landscaper kits
available.
The Micro Sprinkler
Starter Kit is for flower and
vegetable gardens and areas
wl ere trees and shrubs grow.
It comes with a 50 foot roll
of 1/2 inch poly tubing and
all the accessories needed to

mist up to a 250 square feet
of growing space. The Patio
Watering kit includes all the
hose and accessories you
need to water up to eight
potted plants.
Both systems are easy
to install and require little
maintenance.
Thayer points out that
once you set up the system
and connect it to your water
faucet or existing irrigation
system, you can cover it with
mulch or leave it exposed
because it is made with UV
inhibited resins that last
years in cold northern cli
mates and in hot southern
states.
In addition to directing
water exactly where it’s need
ed, Thayer recommends you
also mulch around shrubs
and garden plants. “Mulch
will reduce evaporation and
cut down on weeds,” she
says.
