Irrigation Fact Sheets

Area Agent, Irrigation/Water Quality/Waste Management
Laurens County Cooperative Extension

Are your plants looking stressed? Yellowed? Diseased? Is your vegetable garden more of a straw patch than a verdant oasis? Oftentimes the problem is water - too much or too little. Our new series of fact sheets on irrigation provides the management tools you need to apply the proper amount of water at the proper time to maintain a healthy, vibrant landscape or a fruitful garden. The fact sheets also provide information concerning types of irrigation equipment and their uses.
