In the Inland Empire, we recommend watering between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. Watering within this window of time takes advantage of relatively low winds and less loss of water to evaporation.
Generally, in the Inland Empire, because of our clay soils, running an irrigation system on a lawn for more than five minutes will result in runoff. Precise watering times vary depending on the type of watering device, soil, slope and plants.
In the Inland Empire, water in the early morning hours between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. as follows:
SUMMER NO MORE THAN EVERY OTHER DAY |
FALL NO MORE THAN 3 TIMES PER WEEK |
SPRING NO MORE THAN 3 TIMES PER WEEK |
WINTER NO MORE THAN 1 TIME PER WEEK |
