and as we try to settle into a new house....I decided I wanted to blog about this little tidbit from my Dad.
This place has some crazy systems...one, being the sprinkler system. Back at the other house...the sprinkler was hooked up to the hose...and this happened maybe a few times a year....
at this house....the sprinkler system is a fully automated, programmable system, hooked up to the well...
this sprinkler system....has 13 zones....all of them, my Dad programmed because before we arrived, the temps were around 100...and well, things were dying.
My Dad and I were discussing a new program as things were cooling down, and he mentioned to me something important about plants and roots...
he said, "You want to make sure they get a good drink....even if you drop back the number of days you water....if you give them little drinks...but more frequent...the roots will be short....they won't go deeper to get the water."
kind of like Love, I thought... if you don't really pour out the love...and you only give a tiny bit, even if that tiny bit is more frequent than a deep soak....
the roots are short...shallow....and when a tree's roots are short....shallow....they can't handle a storm....the tree falls over.....
my guess is....you'd want some deep roots, with love....with water...with plants...with people...
just saying....
and I am suffering today....from ragweed allergies! I never had allergies in Canada!
peace...love....and proper irrigation....
