Abstract
Smart irrigation in residential landscapes has many benefits for both the lawn and garden, our water resources, and the homeowner’s wallet. The “Smart irrigation saves water” feature story was published in The Post and Courier’s “Home and Real Estate” section in Charleston, South Carolina on Sunday, April 22, 2018. The purpose of the article was to encourage residents to use irrigation best management practices to help conserve water and reduce the impacts of runoff on nearby waterways. A series of short tips addressed soil testing, mower height, irrigation timing and volume, irrigation water quality, turf selection, and sprinkler calibration. Readers were directed to the many resources offered through the Clemson Extension service for more information, including their soil and irrigation water testing and the “Home and Garden Information Center (HGIC)” website. Distribution of the Sunday edition of The Post and Courier is to 96,005 people living in Charleston, SC and its suburbs in Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester counties. The article was written by Guinn Wallover, a Natural Resources Agent with Clemson Extension.
