The Importance Of Winter Watering
Most Colorado residents retreat indoors with their hot cocoa and tea during the winter – spending time doing yard work isn’t usually at the top of our to-do lists until late spring. However, Colorado’s Front Range winters can be harsh on your landscaping. Did you know that it takes 10 inches of snow to equal one inch of rain? Low precipitation levels can dehydrate dormant plants and it can be months before you see which plants have been damaged. That’s why it’s important to water your plants during the winter months. Keeping your soil moist will keep roots from drying out, which prevents root loss and plant loss.
