| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses how to irrigate around trees, stair-step designed landscapes, slopes, and pots and planters. Suggests that superintendents should "group newly planted trees on their own zones (or valves)." States that with stair-step designs the objective is "1) to prevent water stains on windows, walls and fences, and 2) vary water application rate to accommodate optimal plant water requirements for each 'stair-step'." Concludes that "soil is the key variable to understand when designing for difficult situations. Understanding soil and the part it plays in efficient irrigation design is a continuing process." |
