Keep in mind that the Green Grass Gauge is a general reference and the actual water requirements for any given area should take into account the amount of sun or shade an area receives, the slope of the site, the soil conditions and the type of plant material being watered. All of these factors should be taken into account when setting the base watering schedule.
