Green Gardens

The January 2010 issue of Popular Science highlights two ways to have a greener lawn. One strategy is to go electric with all your equipment. One study indicated that nearly 17 million gallons of gas are spilled every year by people trying to fill yard equipment.

The article also highlighted that Toro has released a smart watering system that monitors soil type, climate, water requirements, and other variables to properly water a lawn while reducing water usage. The system is linked to the NOAA satellite network to obtain weather reports to help determine if the sprinklers need to be turned on, and when.
