Hillside and sloped landscapes often suffer from dry patches and dead plants, especially during hot weather. This is usually caused by water running off before it can fully soak into the soil. Achieving deep soil saturation is crucial for nurturing healthy lawns and plants, as it encourages the development of deep roots capable of withstanding summer heat stress.
When water simply skims the surface or runs off, it doesn’t benefit the landscape. So, how can you ensure better saturation on a slope?
Consider breaking your watering schedule into smaller, more frequent sessions. For instance, if your normal cycle is 30 minutes, divide it into three 10-minute sessions. On watering days, run the system for one session, allow the water to soak for a few hours, and then repeat as needed.
To determine the optimal cycle length, observe how long it takes for runoff to begin when the sprinkler is on. This duration sets the maximum time for each session.
Avoid spreading watering sessions over different days. For robust, healthy plants, infrequent deep watering is more beneficial than frequent, shallow watering.
For hillside landscaping and specimen plants, enhanced saturation is key. Plant them in larger holes filled with quality soil that retains moisture. Construct dams or water wells on the downhill side of each plant to ensure water has time to soak down to the roots rather than running off.
By adopting these practices, you can maintain a thriving hillside landscape with minimal dry spots and stress.
