Man, is it dry out, huh? If you live anywhere from 5000-5300 feet, you know what I am talking about.
I had to get out and water today for the second time. Even though the weather forecast says snow and rain for the next few days, I do not trust that it, first, WILL come, and second, we will get enough to make a difference.
The wildfires are already a threat at this time of year, especially THIS year, so it is a testament to watering your precious, especially under two-year old, shrubs, plants and trees.
The rule of thumb is you should water your shrubs, plants and trees slowly - on a drip hose - or by hand - to about an inch of water per plant. I usually water one tree, move to the next, until water runoff and then re water. That seems to do the trick. If you have build little motes around your trees and shrubs just fill these up to the top and move on.
I hope these dry days are coming to an end and Spring will bring us some much-needed rain.
