Tip: Why Timing Matters for Your Garden's Health!

Eco-Flo Irrigation Tip! Timing is everything when it comes to watering your garden! Did you know it's better not to water when the sun is out? Here's why:

1. Water Loss Through Evaporation: Watering during the heat of the day increases the risk of water evaporating before it can reach the plant roots. This can result in less effective watering and wasted water.

2. Heat Stress: Watering during extremely hot periods can lead to temperature shock for plants. The sudden temperature change from hot to cold water can stress the plants.

3. Water Conservation: Watering during cooler parts of the day, such as early morning or late afternoon, is generally more water-efficient. This is because less water is lost to evaporation during these times.

Considering an automated irrigation system? It's the perfect solution! Set a timer for every morning or late evening, ensuring your plants get the water they need at the right time. Contact Eco-Flo Irrigation for a free quotation.
