Shhh … your lawn is still sleeping

The days may be getting warmer, but through the month of March your lawn is still dormant. And there’s more moisture in the ground than you might think. So instead of setting up your automatic sprinkler system this month, just water trees and shrubs manually as needed. Get more tips for watering your trees.

Fix a Leak Week

March 15–21 is Fix a Leak Week, sponsored by the EPA’s WaterSense program. Walk around your house and listen for drips — that dripping faucet could be costing you on your water bill. Check your toilet for leaks by dropping some food coloring into the toilet tank and waiting 15 minutes. If color appears in the bowl, you have a leaky toilet. Learn more on how to find and fix leaks.
