Small tweaks, big savings

Ever wondered what your irrigation system gets up to when you’re not at home? Turns out Jackie’s sprinklers weren’t doing what they were supposed to, and she was seriously overwatering.

“My irrigation was coming on when I wasn’t home, so I had no idea how much water I was using or which plants were even getting it,” she says.

After learning how to use her irrigation equipment properly, Jackie gained the confidence to adjust her system for the wet and dry seasons.

By watering every second day and making a few small changes, she’s now using half the water she used to and saved more than $1,700 on her annual water bill.

Not sure how much water your garden really needs?

Try the simple 3-2-1 rule for the dry season:

3 – water your lawn three times a week

2 – water your garden twice a week

1 – water your natives just once a week

Jackie’s proof that a few easy changes can make a big difference for your garden, your bills, and the planet.
