Great question, I’d like to cut back the irrigation run time on our well established podocarpus hedges. The sewer charges north of 466 on irrigation water usage (potable water and irrigation are one in the same) are outrageous. On the other hand, I want our hedges as full as possible because they provide excellent privacy on both sides of our pool/birdcage.
