Ulti t C ki E p i Ulti t C ki E p i Spring Spring Sale Sale S ummer heat can be harm- ful in various ways. People and pets can quickly succumb to the summer sun, which can cause sun- burn, heat exhaustion and heat stroke when people and their ani- mals spend too much time outdoors without adequate protection. Landscapes are also vulnerable to sum- mer heat, which can quickly spoil the most lush lawns and robust gardens. Effective wa- tering can help lawns and gardens withstand summer heat, but im- proper watering can deprive landscapes of the water they need to survive. Homeowners concerned about their lawns and gardens surviving the summer can take the following approach to conserve water, save money and maintain their land- scapes. • Start early. Home- owners may feel that the hottest times of the day are when lawns and gardens will be most in need of water, so that's the best time to set sprinklers or grab the hose and get to work. But in many areas, watering between the hours of 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., when summer temperatures tend to peak, can be both wasteful and ineffective. That's because watering between those hours will cause much of the water to quickly evapo- rate, robbing lawns and gardens of the water they need to withstand the heat. Homeowners who water when water is most likely to evapo- rate may feel they need to water more, and that only wastes water. It's best to consult a local landscaping pro- fessional in your area to determine the best time to water each day, but in many regions the best time to water is between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m., when temperatures are generally lower, the sun is not at its peak and winds are not as strong. • Place sprinklers correctly. If you do not have an in-ground irrigation system and don't intend to install one, you will likely use lawn sprinklers to water the lawn. When plac- ing these sprinklers, turn them on and then document their trajectory before moving on to the next area. You want to make sure the water from the sprinklers is not landing on sidewalks, patios or streets, especially if your community typically institutes drought restric- tions that limit how much you can water. In such instances, you'll need to make the best use of the water you're allowed to use, so make sure none of it is watering the driveway. • Let well-fed lawns go dormant during drought. Lengthy droughts tend to be ac- companied by water restrictions, and such restrictions can frustrate homeowners who don't want to see all of the hard work they've put in to this point go to waste. But grass that has thus far been well cared for can withstand drought and still recover when rains once again fall and temperatures cool come au- tumn. If you plan to let the lawn go dormant, keep kids, pets and visitors off the grass, as dormant lawns are highly susceptible to dam- age. Summer is an enjoyable time of year, but lawn and garden enthusiasts may be con- cerned for their properties when summer heat sets in. A few simple strategies can help lawns make it through the season unscathed. Smart watering conserves water and saves money M any people opt for bottled water hop- ing to avoid the potential pathogens lurking inside of regular tap water. But consuming bottled water contributes to the ever- growing problem of discarded plastic bottles and other waste, and you may not be getting what you think when choosing bottled water over tap water. The National Resources Defense Council says sales of bottled water have tripled in the past 10 years to around $4 billion per year, fueled largely on the premise that bottled water comes from crys- tal-clean springs or untouched glaciers. According to U.S. government estimates and industry experts, as much as 40 percent of bottled water is derived from tap water. The NRDC says even one brand of "spring water" was found to come from a well in an industrial facility's parking lot near a hazardous waste dump. Also, many bottled waters are exempt from the Food and Drug Administrations bottled water standards because the FDA says its rules do not apply to water packaged and sold within the same state. When waters are covered and tested, they may be subject to weaker regulations than regular tap water. What's more, even if bottled wa- ter is thoroughly fi ltered, data suggests that plastic bottles could be putting your health at risk. Accord- ing to the organization Ban the Bottle, water con- tained in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles can absorb chemicals from the plastic the longer the water is in storage. These include a chemi- cal called antimony, a white metallic element that in small doses can cause nausea, dizziness and depression. In large doses, antimony can be fatal. Bottled water that is sitting in a hot area can leach the chemicals even faster. Did you know... Thursday, April 7-April 13, 2016 www.shelbyinfo.com 704/484-1047 - shelby shopper & info - Page 21
