October's Watering Reminder
October watering reminder from the City of Mesa:
October started with a great rain last Sunday for most areas of the Valley and temps are running in the ‘cool’ 90’s. If you haven’t adjusted your clock in a while, now is the time to do so. Water needs for plants are about half as much as they were in June. Check out these step-by-step instructions to reprogram your timer to the watering schedule suggested below.
Fall is such a great time to plant, (see bonus tips below about plant sales and more). It’s a great time to sow your Sonoran Desert wildflower seeds for spring bloom. Call us at 480-644-3306 or email us for a free seed packet!
Lawn watering:
Summer grass (Bermuda) - once every 6 days
Overseeded cool season grass (rye) – 4x per day for 1st 7 to 10 days to germinate, then once every 3 days
If trees and shrubs are on the same valve:
Desert Adapted - once every 21 days
High Water Use - once every 10 days
Tree watering:
Desert Adapted - once every 24 days
High Water Use - once every 12 days
Shrub watering:
Desert Adapted - once every 18 days
High Water Use - once every 9 days
Groundcover and vine watering:
Desert Adapted - once every 18 days
High Water Use - once every 8 days
Cacti and succulent watering - once every 28 days
Annuals watering - once every 4-5 days
Wildflower watering – once every 1-2 days to germinate, then once every 7-10 days
Note: These recommendations are a general guideline only and may need to be modified for your specific site conditions.
