Avoid watering on windy days. Wait longer times between watering. Grass roots will grow deeper, less watering will be needed. Remove weeds before they get large. They steal precious water from desirable plants.
Clippings can remain on the lawn.
They help retain moisture. The longer it runs, the more it heats the kitchen. So make sure the door shuts tight. Arrange items in the refrigerator for quick removal and return. With the vent clogged, the clothes get a hot, damp tumbling, but little moisture is removed.
