<br />As a result, the grass roots are encouraged to grow downward instead of outward to find <br />water. As mentioned above, deep roots allow for the drought tolerance and disease <br />resistance of the grass to be increased. <br />In order to implement cycling using a control clocl<, the clocl< operating the system must <br />have multiple start times available (virtually all new control clocl<s have at least three <br />start times). <br /> <br />Appendix D: Irrigation Scheduling <br /> <br />Recommended watering schedule for a zone with clay soil and a PR of .9"/hr. <br /> <br />Month Times/week Cvcles Minutes Total Total <br /> Minutes per Minutes per <br /> waterina week <br />May 1.5 3 12 36 54 <br />June 2 3 12 36 72 <br />July 2 3 12 36 72 <br />August 2 3 12 36 72 <br />September 1 3 12 36 36 <br /> <br />Share test results and recommendations (residential only): In this part of the <br />inspection, the auditor reviews all of his/her findings with the homeowner. The auditor <br />informs him/her of pressure levels, soil type, root depth, precipitation rate, and <br />distribution uniformity. At this time the auditor also provides the homeowner with a <br />recommended watering schedule and explains the importance of cycling. Additionally, <br />the auditor will reinforce the findings of the visual inspection and explain how these <br />findings affect the distribution uniformity of the system. The auditor will then provide <br />the client with recommendations on how the system could be improved upon. Upon <br />finishing the inspection, the auditor will answer any questions that the homeowner may <br />have and will also leave him/her with several resources that provide the homeowner with <br />useful information on matters such as: choosing an irrigation specialist, sustainable <br />landscaping, drip irrigation, pest management, etc. <br /> <br />Appendix E: Homeowner Sheet <br />Appendix F: Additional Resources <br />Appendix G: Media publications (not all instances of press were known or received) <br /> <br />13 <br />
