SMART LANDSCAPING TIPS<br />
Larry the Talking Sprinkler of the NFBWA says ‘You only need to<br />
WATER your lawn TWICE a WEEK!!’ and <strong>Cinco</strong> MUD 8 recommends<br />
you set your sprinkler for 8 minutes twice a week between the hours<br />
of midnight and 5am. If you see puddling, water twice for 4 minutes.<br />
i.e. Monday 1 AM-4 minutes, 3 AM-4 minutes, repeat in 4 days. Enjoy<br />
your Green Lawn.<br />
