Dr. Cale Bigelow partnered with Citizens Energy Group to encourage Indianapolis residents to conserve water through smarter lawn care practices. The video segment aired on WISH-TV on June 19th: Citizens Energy Group promotes water conservation efforts.
Dr. Bigelow advises watering lawns no more than twice a week, noting that Indiana’s 40 inches of annual rainfall is usually enough to keep grass healthy. To further support conservation, he recommends planting drought-tolerant grasses such as Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, and especially turf-type tall fescues, which are better suited to withstand heat and dry conditions.
