Geocache Description:

The cache is a com'd container, which has no room for a pen, so bring one if you want the smilie. No Signy - No smilie!   Watch your step, falling rock signs are fair warning. Turn around space is a bit limited, no big rigs unless you like backing up :) Not many muggles to worry about here. What you need to solve the puzzle is on, but is not on this page.


Is your water working efficiently? Put water where it's neede. Don't let water waste time, effort and money! It should sprnkle your lawn or garen, not pavement. Is your water working effectively? Leave grass 2-3 inches tall (5-8cm). Don't mow. Let it grow! Water stays longer when grass is longer. Leaving your grass longer slows evaporation from the soil... making it work more effectively! Leave grass clippins as mulch. Leaving grass clippings on your lawn helps feed te lawn and retain moisture, requiring less water and reducing evaportion. Aerate your lawn and top dress with compost. Aerating the lawn in early spring or fall improves water penetration. Water also works best with organic products like compost which minimize over-fertilizing and help prevent stormwatr pollution. Does your water work well with others? Pir water with plants suitable to our dry climate. Okanagan water works best when paired with plants suitable to our dry climate: drought-tolerant turf, and ntive low-water variety plants. Does your water smply stand around? One inch a week will do. Most lawns need just 2.5cm (one inch) of water per week — about the epth of a tuna can. Watering deeply and less often promotes deep, healthy root growth. If you're watering deeply but not seeing results the problem may be inadequate topsoil. Try top dressing with half an inch of compost, then over-seeding for a thick and vigorous lawn. Check sprinkler heads. Notice brown spots? Water needs supervising. Sometimes sprinkler heads break, or plants grow around the sprinkler hed, preventing effective water use. Check sprinkler heads and make necessary fixes to ensure they're working right. Install water-saving irrigation products. Save money on your water bill by using high efficiency irrigation, like drip or microjet, for shrubs and gardens. Collect and use rainwater. It's free! Rainbarrels collect fresh, naturally soft and chemial-free water that is great for container plants, flower beds, nd food gardns.
