As expected<\/a>, Denver Water has imposed strict drought rules <\/a>on its 1.2MM customers, effective 1 May.<\/p>\n

For home lawn <\/b>watering, folks are limited to two days per week (specified for odd vs. even addresses — we’ll be on a Sat\/Wed schedule), an average of 15 minutes per sprinkler zone, but not from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Hefty fines await those who get caught doing otherwise.<\/p>\n

Trees and shrubs can be handwatered on assigned days, but, again, not between 10 and 6. Flowers and vegetables can be hand-watered on any day except Monday, and not between 10 and 6.<\/p>\n

With management, I think we can do that another year, but we’ll need to be careful. The tree sacks will be useful for the trees out front. A couple of tasks which need doing:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. More mulch. Much more mulch.\n
  2. Re-alligning some sprinkler heads to focus on flower beds.<\/ol>\n

    Fewer plantings this year, alas, at least of smaller plants outside of pots. More hand-watering.<\/p>\n

    Margie’s suggested doing more drip irrigation out in the yard. I’m not convinced that’s the best way of handling things … but I’m not unconvinced, either.<\/p>\n

    Anyway, it gives me something to start acting on this weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
