Recently, the City of Lubbock passed a water restriction ordinance, restricting the watering of lawns and landscoape areas. Water conservation is a big issue, but your plants need moisture to thrive and stay healthy. Watering at night to conserve water from evaporating during the heat of the day is one method to conserve water. There is an alternative available that will insure you that your plants have enough available moisture during the daytime hours.
Zeolite applied to the soil at a rate of 50 lbs per 1000 sq ft to the lawns will assist you in both conserving water and keeping the moisture available to your plants. Zeolite is all naturall and also acts as a fertilizer, areator and moisture absorbant all in one.
If you live in a rural area, you can utilize the gray water produced from showers, laundry, sinks and dishwashers to water your lawn with the use of a seperate holding tank, a zeolite filter system, and a pump Capture the grey water seperately in the holding tank. Construct a filter with our plans
and pump the gray water through the filter and out into the lawn.
