Watering

Arizona horticulturists answer a lot of questions about watering plants. The answers to these questions are not as easy and clear cut as they might seem. Watering your plants correctly requires that you understand how much water your plants need, know how much water each part of your irrigation system applies, and match your system's output to you plants needs. There are many watering guides out there, but this may well be the best.

This website allow you enter information about your plants and irrigation system and create your own custom watering guide to post inside your irrigation timer box. You can also get a free copy of the Landscape Watering by the Numbers, a Guide for the Arizona Desert.
