Conserve Water By Skipping Overseed This Year
11/14/2007
A Bermuda or
Bermuda-hybrid lawn requires more than 55 inches of water per year with winter
overseed, and more than 40 inches per year without. Compare that to Peoria’s
average rainfall of 8 inches. Instead of overseeding, consider saving time,
money and water by converting to low-water-use to Xeriscape -- nature’s choice
of landscape. The average Xeriscape requires less than 18 inches of water per
year. Peoria utility customers should visit
conserve.peoriaaz.gov
or call 623-773-7286 before starting to see if they qualify for a Xeriscape-conversion
rebate.
