Save Money, Conserve Water, Grow a Healthier Lawn
Do you ever see a sprinkler watering a lawn when it's raining out, and think: what a waste of water? Well, it is. That's why Hillsborough County Extension Service is calling for residents and businesses to participate in a soil moisture sensor study. Qualified participants will receive a free soil moisture sensor or rain sensor with installation, a value of more than $150. Either device could save you money on your water bill, conserve precious potable water, and help you get a healthier lawn.
If you're tired of seeing your cash go down the drain to keep your lawn looking lush, see if you qualify to participate in the study.
