Then, watering <br /> is phased out in a similar fashion to create a drying out time in late August through September, with a final soaking late <br /> September /October to ensure that the plants can handle freezing stresses. <br /> Last year, the automatic system was drastically reduced in response to a request that no lawn watering be conducted at <br /> all. Hand watering of plants in combination lawn & shrub zones did occur. Several sprinklers were removed entirely. <br /> This year was also a reduced year both in response to sensitivity regarding water issues as well as the abundance of <br /> naturally occurring rainfall. Also, part of the system was out of commission due to tree fall damage. <br /> c <br /> (.0, <br /> 1 <br />
